  1. Values depict median (interquartile range) of ordinal scores
  2. ACG = anterior cingulate gyrus; ANG = angular gyrus; FTLD-Tau = frontotemporal lobar degeneration with inclusions of the tau protein; FTLD-TDP = frontotemporal lobar degeneration with inclusions of the TDP-43 protein; LFB = luxol fast blue; MFC = middle frontal cortex; OFC = orbitofrontal cortex; STG = superior temporal gyrus; WM = white matter
  3. #LFB ordinal ratings were compared between pathology groups using Mann Whitney U analysis
