Rapidly autopsied, frozen human temporal cortex tissues were obtained from the Joseph and Kathleen Bryan Brain Bank (Duke University). Twenty-five subjects were selected with post-mortem intervals (PMI) of <13 h. The project was approved by the Duke Institutional Review Board (IRB). RNA Integrity Number (RIN) evaluation was done using RNA extracts from brain tissue. Brain samples that showed RIN values >7 were selected for conducting the following steps of the method introduced in this paper.
