The New York Times reports that brain autopsy results on Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock show that he "had not had a stroke, brain tumor or a number of other neurological disorders that might have helped explain his actions".
Paddock, 64-years-old, did have an unusually high burden of corpora amylacea, the significance of which is not known.
In the article, Stanford neuropathologist Hannes Vogel commented on the corpora amylacea as follows: “Most people would have them at that age, but not in that profusion,” Dr. Vogel said. “It’s a striking exaggeration of an age-related finding.”
I put up a post a few months ago about Dr. Vogel receiving the brain for examination.
