The table shows the number of animals affected by erythrocyte thrombi, small perivascular bleeds and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in the different brain regions (as percentage and total number of affected animals), related to histological analysis. The mean number of the respective pathology per animal is displayed, including standard deviation, minimum and maximum value (for erythrocyte thrombi the mean number refers to 50 fields of view per brain region, adding up to 250 fields of view for the whole brain; for small perivascular bleeds and CAA means refer to all investigated slices).
