vision/eye
• apoptosis in the outer and inner nuclear layer of the retina in mice over 8 months of age
• degradation of oscillatory potential as mice age suggests dysfunction of amacrine cells
• amacrine cells without nuclei are observed in mice at 16 months of age
• high amounts of apoptosis occur to retinal amacrine cells after 8 months of age
• ganglion cells in a degenerate state (i.e. lacking nuclei) are observed in the retinas of mice at 16 months of age
• high amounts of apoptosis occur to retinal ganglion cells after 8 months of age
• the inner segment layer less organized as the mice age
• some vacuolated areas also appear in this layer as the mice age
• massive cell death by 16 months of age leads to large vacuolated areas
• the outer segment layer in mice becomes thicker and less organized as the mice age
• some vacuolated areas appear in this layer as the mice age
• the inner nuclear layer becomes thinner by 16 months of age
• the outer nuclear layer becomes disorganized as mice age
• the outer nuclear layer becomes thinner by 16 months of age
• the outer plexiform layer becomes thinner by 16 months of age
• oscillatory potential is impaired in mice as they age
• 3-month old mice have enhanced scoptic a-wave with a maximum amplitude difference of 19.3%
• a-wave amplitudes decrease with age so that maximum amplitude is decreased by 18%, 40%, and 69% of controls at 8, 12, and 16 months of age, respectively
• genotype effect on b-wave amplitudes is attributed to rod cell defects because no differences are seen under photobleaching conditions
• 3-month old mice have enhanced scoptic b-wave with a maximum amplitude difference of 17.6%
• b-wave amplitudes decrease with age so that maximum amplitude is decreased by 21%, 32%, and 64% of controls at 8, 12, and 16 months of age, respectively
