Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Microglia are resident immune cells of the central nervous system, yet their functions far exceed those related to immunology. From pruning neural synapses during development to preventing excessive neural activity throughout life, microglia are intimately involved in the brain’s most basic processes.
