Abstract

In vivo two-photon imaging of microglia in the intact brain has revealed that microglia constantly survey neuronal soma. Research over the past decade and a recent paper by Cserép et al. published in Science are now uncovering the nature, mechanisms, and consequences of these interactions in health and injury.
