Figure 1. Aging effects on the visual pathway. In the retina, the continuous growth decreases both the retinal thickness and the density of the different retinal populations (details in [2]), however, although no neuronal loss was observed in aged retinas (except, L/M-cones in pigmented rats), the vision forming and the non-vision forming information, that reaches the brain, are likely affected by aging [7].
