Contributions of Microglia to Structural Synaptic Plasticity
Synaptic plasticity critically depends on reciprocal interactions between neurons and glia. Among glial cells, microglia represent approximately 10% of the total brain cell population serve as the brain's resident macrophage, and help to modulate neural activity. Because of their special role i...
