Among the early symptoms of Alzheimer disease is the degradation of the orientating senses in space as it was discovered by an american study that was published in The Archives of Neurology.

One of this is the orientation in space that involves, for example, the interpretation of a map or the capacity to solve the cube of Rubick.
