The Impact of MicroRNAs on Brain Aging and Neurodegeneration

Figure 1

Expression of selected miRNAs is induced in the aging cerebellum and cortex of chimpanzees and humans. The asterisks indicate groups of miRNAs and ncRNAs that are specifically upregulated in the aging human cerebellum and cortex. Ontology analysis for biological function of the human upregulated miRNA target genes in the cerebellum and cortex of aged individuals is shown below the heatmaps.
