Neuroinflammation and Myelin Status in Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and Normal Aging Brains: A Small Sample Study

Figure 1

Myelin staining in the representative AD, PD, and age-matched cognitive intact controls (NC) cases. (a, c, e) The connected fine fibers between the junction of subcortical white and gray matter from AD, PD, and NC, respectively (the bars represent a 200 μm scale; the insets show a gross view, and the small squares indicate the zoomed regions). (b, d, f) The fibers in the subcortical white matter from the same AD, PD, and NC cases, respectively. The fibers are short and small in diameter, they are arranged in complex cross-linking pattern (the bars represent a 200 μm scale).
