Microglia regulate motor neuron plasticity via reciprocal fractalkine and adenosine signaling

Nature Communications
We report an important role for microglia in regulating neuroplasticity within phrenic motor neurons. Brief episodes of low oxygen (acute intermittent hypoxia; AIH) elicit a form of respiratory motor plasticity known as phrenic long-term facilitation ...

Acute postnatal inflammation alters adult microglial responses to LPS that are sex-, region- and timing of postnatal inflammation-dependent

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Background Adverse events in early life can have impact lasting into adulthood. We investigated the long-term effects of systemic inflammation during postnatal development on adult microglial responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in two CNS regions ...
