It is known that microglia morphology and function are closely related, but only few studies
have objectively described different morphological subtypes. To address this issue …

Microglia are the resident immune cells of the adult brain that become activated in response
to pathogen-or damage-associated stimuli. The acute inflammatory response to injury …

Microglial immunosurveillance of the brain parenchyma to detect local perturbations in
homeostasis, in all species, results in the adoption of a spectrum of morphological changes …

Microglia are the resident macrophages in the brain. Traditionally, two forms of microglia
have been described: one considered as a resting/surveillant state in which cells have a …

The spinal cord accounts for the main communication pathway between the brain and the
peripheral nervous system. Spinal cord injury is a devastating and largely irreversible …

Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) and play a
pivotal role in immune surveillance and CNS homeostasis. Morphological transitions in …

Aging is associated with increased central nervous system inflammation, in large part due to
dysfunctional microglia. Environmental enrichment (EE) provides a model for studying the …

Microglia, the primary immune cells in the central nervous system, play a critical role in
regulating neuronal function and fate through their interaction with neurons. Despite …

It has long been recognized that reactive microglia undergo a series of phenotypic changes
accompanying morphological transformation. However, the morphological classification of …

We investigated long‐term environmental influences on morphology of microglia from the
outer and middle thirds of molecular layer of the dentate gyrus (MolDG), and on microglia …
