Primate retinal cones express phosphorylated tau associated with neuronal degeneration yet survive in old age

Photoreceptor cells have high energy demands and suffer significantly with age. In aged rodents both rods and cones are lost, but in primates there is no evidence for aged cone loss, although their function declines. Here we ask if aged primate cones suffer from reduced function because of declining...
