A retina partes proeminentes semelhanças com o cérebro e, portanto, representa uma janela única para estudar vasculatura e estrutura neuronal no cérebro de forma não-invasiva. Este protocolo descreve um método para estudar a demência usando técnicas de imagem da retina. Esse método potencialmente pode ajudar no diagnóstico e avaliação de riscos de demência.
