Figure 2. Relationship between Lewy pathology burden and disease state by Braak PD stage.

Figure 2

Lewy pathology burden scores (LP total) were derived by summating semiquantitative scores from 16 foci throughout the brain (table e-1). Median LP total scores were compared between normal (0), incidental Lewy body disease (ILBD) with Braak Parkinson disease (PD) stages 1 and 2 (I 1-2), 3 and 4 (I 3-4), and 5 and 6 (I 5-6), as well as PD with Braak PD 3 (PD3) and 5 and 6 (PD5-6). Note that median LP total in ILBD with Braak PD stages 5 and 6 was significantly lower than that in PD with Braak PD stages 5 and 6. The circles represent normal subjects, the triangles ILBD, and the squares PD. Horizontal bars indicate median values.
