  1. Demographic data for the human post-mortem brain tissue cases in this study are shown. Kruskal–Wallis test was used to measure differences among Control, PDD, and DLB for post-mortem interval and age at death. A two-tailed student’s t test with equal variance was used to analyze statistical differences between PDD and DLB for onset age, symptom duration, and dementia age. Data are presented as the mean  ±  SEM and the ranges are shown in parentheses
