AD Neuropathologic change. Cases were selected based on the degree of AD neuropathologic change. The resistant cases were selected based on a Braak score of III or less and absent neuritic plaques by CERAD criteria. Their AD dementia matches, the resilient cases, and their respective AD dementia matches were selected based on a Braak stage VI and frequent neuritic plaques. Re-evaluation demonstrated the expected distribution of amyloid plaques (a), neurofibrillary tangles (b), and density of neuritic plaques (c), based on these selection criteria
