Literature search was performed in different databases for the top most abundant miRNAs found by the exploratory Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) study. PubMed, and the Nervous System Disease NcRNAome Atlas (NSDNA) (30) were used to explore their relation with neurodegeneation-related processes. Total read count for each miRNA by NGS is shown; For qPCR analysis, mean and 95% C.I. is shown
