Abstract
Both memory and spatial navigation are affected in early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). It could be a link between the magnetic intermediate formed by the cryptochrome response to light in the retina and the navigation and memory systems in the grid cells in the brain. A disturbance in this system could be involved in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
