AD stages refer to cognitively normal controls (’controls’); preclinical AD, mild cognitive impairment (’MCI’) and advanced AD (’AD’). Differentially Expressed Proteins (’DEPs’) shows the total number of all DEPs included in NeuroPro from each study (sum of DEPs from all AD stages and all brain regions). The statistical approach shows the stringency criteria that was used to define DEPs for each study. All t-tests were two-sided.
