Aging in the retinas and the lateral geniculate bodies of the albino mice.
Aging of the retinas and the lateral geniculate bodies were studied by biochemical, morphometrical, and ultrastructural means. A decrease in the phagosome number in the central retinas were recorded in the aged mice. In the lateral geniculate bodies of the aged animals, the neurons showed a decrease in nuclear volume and the microglia cells were active.
