By integrating physical mobility and sensorimotor function into models of spatial navigation, we hope to broaden the scope of how navigation is studied, assessed, and ultimately used to detect preclinical changes in Alzheimer’s disease.

We propose that spatial navigation offers a useful lens into early cognitive-motor changes in aging, shaped by neuromodulatory and multisensory processes that may decline before overt brain pathology.

Rather than focusing solely on hippocampal or entorhinal dysfunction, we highlight how degraded sensorimotor inputs - like balance, gait, and vestibular function - play a crucial but often overlooked role.
