Figure 1. Aged cynomolgus monkey. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy involves blood vessels of the meninge (A), frontal cortex (FC), parietal cortex (Par C), and amygdala (Amyg) with additional β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition in the perivascular spaces. In contrast with the extensive cerebral amyloid angiopathy, a few neurons containing hyper-phosphorylated tau (antibody AT8) are scattered in the frontal and parietal cortex, and hippocampus. Paraffin sections slightly counterstained with haematoxylin. Upper two rows, bar = 180 μm; lower row, bar = 25 μm.
