The swarm's case

receipt 11524: MFSD1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.21 (p 0.408, n 18), 95% CI -0.29 to +0.61. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.24 (p 0.337, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.27 (p 0.273, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.10 to +0.32, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.21 (p 0.408, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in oligodendrocytes: +0.67 (p 0.0022, n 18) vs +0.21 in dopamine neurons. proposing oligodendrocytes.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MFSD1 in dopamine neurons.
