Demographics of examined groups in the Brain and Body donation program. All neurodegenerative disease groups are not mutually exclusive. All data are listed as mean ± standard deviation.

^┼PD had significant greater disease duration when compared to DLB, PSP, CBD, and MSA cases.

^*PSP and control cases were significantly older than PD, CBD, and MSA cases at death.

^**Controls had a significantly lower average UPDRS score before death when compared to PD, DLB, PSP, and MSA.

^***Only one CBD case had a record of a UPDRS.
