Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Iron levels in the brain-Conference
English term or phrase: orthogonal
My question is whether the above term is best translated as 'perpendicular', 'ortogonal' or 'independiente' in the following context:

“While certain brain regions did not have increased iron, the iron burden, within this normal range, was still associated with cognitive decline".
“This confirms iron as a neurochemical factor critical for cognitive deterioration in AD but orthogonal to plaques and tangles.”

Thank you

Spanish translation:independiente
Explanation:
I found this sentence in an article (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/mrm.21586)

However, the lack of a correlation between plaque load and iron concentrations suggests that the increases in AD brain iron are not strongly related to the deposition and accumulation of amyloid plaques.

Thus, independiente would be the best translation
