Neuronal density (a) and Neuronal volume (b) within the individual layers and across all layers (overall) of primary visual cortex in dementia with Lewy bodies  (DLB) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). a Stereological analysis using the optical disector was used in primary visual cortex to determine neuronal density. No change in neuronal density was seen in DLB or AD. Boxplots show the median and quartile range with whiskers as the highest and lowest values within 1.5 x the interquartile range. , outlier points. b No overall reduction in neuronal volume was observed in DLB compared to elderly controls. There was a significant overall reduction in neuronal volume in AD compared to control and specifically a significant reduction in neuronal volume in layer 4a in AD (P < 0.05). Boxplots show the median and quartile range with whiskers as the highest and lowest values within 1.5 x the interquartile range. , outlier points. †, P < 0.05
