The paper shows that microglial process dynamics shield GABAergic inputs to enhance neuronal activity after anesthesia in mice.

This study shows that optogenetic activation of spinal microglia in mice induces chronic pain through IL-1 signaling and increased neuronal activity.

This study investigates microglial calcium signaling in vivo, finding that microglial processes respond to changes in neuronal activity through calcium transients, while somatic calcium changes occur only after seizures.

This study shows that neuronal activity in awake mice influences microglial process surveillance via norepinephrine signaling, highlighting the need for awake imaging in studying microglia-neuron interactions.
