Wandering in individuals with dementia is a serious concern of caregivers, care facilities and communities. As it turns out, wandering, getting lost in familiar surroundings and decreased driving skills are all related to this condition.

Motion Blindness Wikipedia 

Akinetopsia, also known as cerebral akinetopsia or motion blindness, is an extremely rare neuropsychological disorder in which a patient cannot perceive motion in his/her visual field, despite being able to see stationary objects without issue. Most of what is known about akinetopsia was learned through the case study of one patient, LM. There is currently no effective treatment or cure for akinetopsia.
