  1. p = 2.3423E-38
  2. LRP Lewy -related pathology
  3. aLRP detected in any of the investigated spinal cord regions: dorsal horn and ventral horn at the cervical 6–7, thoracic 3–4, lumbar 3–4 and sacral 1–2 levels and intermediolateral column at thoracic 3–4 level, one case with no spinal cord regions available was excluded from the analysis
  4. bLRP detected in any of the investigated brain regions: dorsal motor nucleus of Vagus (dmV) of medulla, locus coeruleus (LC) of pons, substantia nigra, amygdala, entorhinal cortex, cingulate gyrus, temporal cortex, frontal cortex, parietal cortex, anterior olfactory nucleus (AON) and peripheral olfactory bulb/peduncle (brain LRP data published previously [19, 31]). 15 cases found to have LRP only in olfactory bulb/peduncle were included [19]. Cases with missing olfactory regions but all other brain regions negative were considered negative[19]
