Among a population of nursing home patients with a diagnosis of senile dementia of Alzheimer's type (SDAT), a subgroup was identified who often became lost and wandered even in familiar surroundings. This subgroup differed from the rest of the SDAT patients on tests of parietal function but not on a generalized test of mental status. Thus, wandering in SDAT patients may be an indication of a specific parietal lobe involvement.
在一群被诊断患有阿尔茨海默病型老年痴呆症（SDAT）的疗养院患者中，识别出了一个亚组，他们即使在熟悉的环境中也经常迷路和徘徊。该亚组在顶叶功能测试方面与其他SDAT患者不同，但在一般精神状态测试中并无差异。因此，SDAT患者的徘徊可能表明特定的顶叶受累。
