The Topography of Metabolic Deficits in Posterior Cortical Atrophy (the Visual Variant of Alzheimers Disease) with FDG-PET
JNNP 74:1521-1529, Nestor,P.J.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The neuropsychological and PET findings are consistent with damage predominantly to the dorsal stream of visual processing. Frontal eye field hypometabolism secondary to loss of input from the occipito-parietal region may be the mechanism for the ocular apraxia seen in Balint�s syndrome.
