Summary

Analysis of splicing changes revealed a common component of aging and neurodegeneration

Dramatic decrease of neuron-specific genes is a hallmark of neurodegeneration (as expected)

Distinct changes in cell type-specific expression profiles are a hallmark of aging

Microglia-specific genes increase, and neuron-specific genes slightly decrease their expression

Astrocyte and oligodendrocyte-specific genes shift their regional expression patterns
