Retinal layer thickness as biomarker for cognitive decline in rhesus macaques
Rhesus macaques showed aging behaviors and retinal layer measurements similar to humans. Although behavioral testing poses challenges, retinal imaging was highly reproducible. A larger, longitudinal study pairing behavioral assessments with retinal measurements is needed to determine if the retina could serve as a noninvasive biomarker of cognitive function in preclinical NHP research.
