Diagnosis The normal control group was composed of individuals with no history of neurologic disease and no obvious neurodegenerative pathology at autopsy. The asymptomatic AD group was composed of individuals with normal cognition who exhibit obvious AD pathology at death (ABC scores of “low” and “intermediate”) (49). “ABC” scores were determined per NIA-AA guidelines (49) FTLD_tau was assessed according to consensus guidelines (50, 51). The diagnosis of Lewy body disease was established using consensus criteria (51, 52).
