receipt 13551: LPP in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.02 (p 0.942, n 18), 95% CI -0.45 to +0.48. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.03 (p 0.922, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.04 (p 0.861, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.06 to +0.16, sign flips 6; without severely affected donors +0.02 (p 0.942, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in astrocytes: -0.63 (p 0.0047, n 18) vs +0.02 in dopamine neurons. proposing astrocytes.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for LPP in dopamine neurons.
