Brain-Body Interactions
Duration
70 minutes
Microglia, traditionally classified as immune-responsive, adjust synaptic connections during development and disease. However, their role in the adult nervous system has been mostly diminished to an observer. In my research group, we are interested in how microglia are involved in establishing and maintaining accurate neuronal circuit function in the retina and in the visual cortex. In my talk, I will introduce our strategies how to decipher the microglia’s functional identity and how this information guided us to microglia enabled extracellular matrix remodeling and reinstatment of juvenile-like plasticity in the adult brain.
