Microglia-neuron interaction at nodes of Ranvier depends on neuronal activity through potassium release and contributes to remyelination
Microglia are important for brain homeostasis and plasticity. The mechanisms underlying microglia-neuron interactions are still unclear. Here, the authors show that microglia preferentially interact with the nodes of Ranvier along axons. This interaction is modulated by neuronal activity and contrib...
