Figure 2

Photomicrographs of the posterior cingulate cortex (PC) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD, A) and the anterior cingulate cortex (AC) in FTLD-tau (B) and FTLD-TDP (C). Neuronal loss is obvious in these regions, with more severe degeneration observed in FTLD-tau (B), and a similar extent of degeneration observed in FTLD-TDP (C) and AD (A). Comparable levels of tau-immunopositivity in neurofibrillary tangles (A, inset) and Pick bodies (B, inset) was observed in PC in AD (A) and in AC in FTLD-tau (B). Sparse numbers of TDP-43 inclusions (C, inset) were found in cases with FTLD-TDP (C).
