receipt 8939: NF1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.01 (p 0.962, n 18), 95% CI -0.46 to +0.48. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.00 (p 0.997, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.12 (p 0.627, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.11 to +0.10, sign flips 6; without severely affected donors +0.01 (p 0.962, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in oligodendrocytes: +0.69 (p 0.0015, n 18) vs +0.01 in dopamine neurons. proposing oligodendrocytes.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for NF1 in dopamine neurons.
