Table 3.
Number of Purkinje cells per mm2 of cerebellar cortex.
Multiple Sclerosis (n = 17) | Controls (n = 8) | |
---|---|---|
Normal cortex | 12.2 (8.3–21.4) | 13.2 (9.0–15.7) |
Demyelinated cortex | 10.2 (4.4–16)* | None |
The numbers of Purkinje cells were determined according to material and methods. Values given in the table are medians and range (in brackets).
P < 0.02 (demyelinated cortex compared with normal cortex in multiple sclerosis or controls).
