Satellite Microglia in the mouse CNS
# Additional information about the resource, e.g., a brie| Microglia are the immune cells of the central nervous system. A subpopulation, satellite microglia, form direct contact of their cell body to a neuron cell body. This particular neuron-glia interaction may have implications for neuron function. To understand what factors determine satellite microglia formation we performed a morphological analysis of adult mouse brains and retinae. Satellite microglia occur in all areas containing neuron somata, and their frequency is determined by the soma density of neurons in a given brain region whereas a preference to form a satellite with neurons of a specific neurotransmitter subtype was not observed. |
