Sex differences in brain structure and function are of substantial scientific interest because of sex-related susceptibility to psychiatric and neurological disorders. Neuroinflammation is a common denominator of many of these diseases and thus microglia as the brain´s immunocompetent and instrumental cells has come into focus in sex specific studies. We and others show that male microglia are more frequent in specific brain areas and appear to have a higher potential to respond to stimuli, whereas female microglia seem to acquire a more “protective” phenotype.
