Abstrakt: A recent study conducted at the University of Victoria in Canada explores the field of cellular neuroscience, specifically focusing on microglia, which are immune cells in the central nervous system. The research highlights the importance of glial cells in maintaining and regulating neuronal network dynamics. The study discusses various techniques for studying microglia, including visualization, depletion, and fate mapping. These techniques have applications in understanding microglial functions in development, homeostasis, and CNS pathologies. The research provides valuable insights into the role of microglia in various physiological processes and potential treatment strategies for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions.
