Abstract excerpt
Accumulative evidence indicates that microglial cells influence the normal development of central nervous system (CNS) synapses. Yet, the functional properties of microglia in relation with synapse development remain unclear. We recently showed that in layer 4 of the whisker-related barrel field of the mouse somatosensory cortex, microglial cells are recruited only after postnatal day (P)5 in the center of the...
