Depicted are correlations between the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distances of pairs of distribution histograms of a given plaque-associated feature and the difference in symptom duration of that pair of subjects, and the correlations between the median values of the distribution histograms for a given pair of plaque-associated features (ie, GFAP+ astrocytes versus CD68+ microglia). Data refer to all subjects, that is, 40 AD and 9 CTRL subjects (8 for SMI312+ dystrophic neurites).

AD, Alzheimer disease; CTRL, control.

Statistically significant results.
