Figure 4: Neuritic plaques in different brain regions.

From: Visualization of neuritic plaques in Alzheimer’s disease by polarization-sensitive optical coherence microscopy

Figure 4

(A) Non-AD subject does not show any birefringent plaques in phase retardation image of the frontal cortex. (B–D) In the cortex of an AD brain, neuritic plaques light up with increasing values in retardation image. Inserts below each rendering show details where plaques are marked by yellow arrows. Color map in (A) applies to all images.
