aThe two-tailed, unpaired Mann-Whitney test was performed

bThe two-tailed, unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction was performed on the log transformed outcomes

cMultiple linear regression was used to analyze the log transformed outcomes of protein levels with adjustment for age at death, sex and PMI of brain tissue harvest
