We identify a striking correlation in the directionality and magnitude of gene expression changes in brain transcriptomes between Alzheimers disease (AD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Further, the transcriptome architecture in AD and PSP is highly conserved between the temporal and cerebellar cortices, indicating highly similar transcriptional changes occur in pathologically affected and "unaffected" areas of the brain. These data have broad implications for interpreting transcriptomic data in neurodegenerative disorders.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
