Table 2.
Correlation coefficients and p-values from one-sided Spearman correlation and partial Spearman correlation of regional semi-quantitative tau score and cortical thickness with age, sex, post-mortem interval and regional semi-quantitative TDP43 and α-synuclein scores as covariates. (A) Main regions with paired thickness and histopathology scores. (B) Exploratory regions in close proximity to the regions with available corresponding neuropathology score.
