Columns A, B and C apply to the grouping of the animals according to microscopic changes in hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained slides (A), independent IHC slide analysis (B), and age (C). N—adults without visible lesions in HE-slides or observed aberration in the IHC slides; P—adults with observed microscopic lesions/aberrant IHC-patterns, Y—young (<30 y.o.) adult, O—old (≥30 y.o.) adult. C—cal. M—male; F—female. Subcellular compartments: ac—astrocyte cytoplasm; all—all cell types and compartments; an—astrocyte nuclei; nc—neuronal cytoplasm; nn—neuronal nuclei; nnl—neuronal nucleoli.
