The set of 215 DEGs in LCM-captured frontal cortex neurons of AD satisfying value <0.0001 by two-tailed -test and fold change greater than 2 or smaller than 0.5 were extracted by microarray data analysis of GSE5281. Among them, the set of 15 genes corresponding to the core set of 522 DEGs identified by RNA-Seq data analysis of SRA060572 are listed with Entrez Gene ID, gene symbol, gene name, fold change, and value. NeuroD6 is italicized. The complete set of 215 DEGs are shown in Supplementary Table  3.
