Abstract excerpt
Aberrant neuronal activity in the cortex alters microglia phenotype and function in several contexts, including chronic psychologic stress and neurodegenerative disease. Recent findings even suggest that heightened levels of neuronal activity spur microglia to phagocytose synapses, with potential impacts on cognition and behavior. Thus, the present studies were designed to determine if activation of neurons...
