Microglia as hunters or gatherers of brain synapses - Nature Neuroscience How microglia sculpt brain circuits is not clear. Here, the authors propose that their contribution to synapse removal may occur by severing synapses (culling) or collecting synapses shed off by neuro... https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-024-01818-w
