Stereological counts of Wisteria floribunda lectin (WFA)‐reactive perineuronal nets (PNs) related to the number of NeuN‐stained neurons in area 17 and 18 of occipital isocortex and area 20 of temporal isocortex in control brains and brains affected by Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Area | PNs (mm2) ± SD | |
---|---|---|
Controls | n = 5 | |
17 | 65 ± 3 | |
18 | 66 ± 7 | |
20 | 17 ± 7 | |
AD | n = 5 | |
17 | 68 ± 5 | |
18 | 67 ± 8 | |
20 | 19 ± 3 |
No significant difference could be detected in the number of WFA‐positive PNs.
A17 P = 0.2; A18 P = 0.8; A20 P = 0.4.
