Developmental cell, 2016•cell.comMicroglia are the primary phagocytes of the central nervous system. They eliminate excess
functional connections between neurons to sculpt neuronal circuits during development and
throughout adulthood. Understanding how microglia recognize and prune synapses during
development is providing insight into synapse loss and dysfunction in disease.
