Fig. 3From: Tau and TDP-43 accumulation of the basal nucleus of Meynert in individuals with cerebral lobar infarcts or hemorrhageRate of NFTs in neurons of the BNM cases of infarcts in the MCA territory and putaminal hemorrhages, by Braak NFT stage. (a, b) Braak NFT stages I and II cases. (c, d) Stages III and IV cases. (e, f) Stages V and VI cases. (a, c, e) Phosphorylated tau-immunoreactive (ptau+) neurons. (b, d, f) Gallyas Braak stain-positive (GB+) neurons. (a) In most cases (21/22, 95%), the rate of ptau+ neurons was higher on the BNM-affected side than on the unaffected side. The median rate was significantly higher on the BNM-affected side than on the unaffected side (p < 0.01). (b) In most Braak NFT stage I and II cases (21/22, 95%), the rate of GB+ neurons was higher on the BNM-affected side than on the unaffected side. The median rate was significantly higher on the BNM-affected side than on the unaffected side (p < 0.01). (c-f) No differences in ptau+ or GB+ BNM neurons on BNM-affected and unaffected sidesBack to article page
