Eye behavior disruption is reported in Parkinson's disease (PD), but its correlation with disease severity has not been well examined. Here, in a nonhuman primate model of PD, we show that spontaneous eye behavior is impaired in parkinsonism and correlates with clinical rating scores and subthalamic beta oscillatory activity. These findings suggest that spontaneous eye behavior could serve as an objective, non-invasive biomarker of parkinsonian severity.

"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.
