Neuroprotective function for ramified microglia in hippocampal excitotoxicity

BACKGROUND: Most of the known functions of microglia, including neurotoxic and neuroprotective properties, are attributed to morphologically-activated microglia. Resting, ramified microglia are suggested to primarily monitor their environment including synapses. Here, we show an active protective ro...
