Table 3. Differences in cortical, subcortical and brainstem patterns of atrophy across the PSP and CBD groups.

REGIONS PSP CBD
ALL Extrapyramidal Dementia ALL Extrapyramidal Dementia
Cortical grey ++ + ++ +++ ++ +++
Subcortical white ++ + ++ + ++ 0/+
Subcortical grey + 0/+ + ++ 0/+ ++
Brainstem ++ ++ + 0/+ 0/+ 0

Semi-quantitative determination of the amount of regional atrophy as shown by the VBM analysis: 0 = no atrophy, 0/+ = scant amount of atrophy, + = mild atrophy, ++ = moderate and +++ = severe.
