With a rapidly aging population, studies of neuroinflammation and degeneration associated with eugeric aging are becoming critical. Using the unique archive at the Tulane National Primate Research Center as a resource, we have developed tools to quantify morphological changes in astrocytes and microglia across the life span of monkeys. This method can be used for morphometric studies of multiple parameters simultaneously in an unbiased manner.
