Microglia are not required for normal postnatal brain development and cognitive function in the rat.

Emma K. Green, Xinyi Li, Yang Guo, Dylan Carter‐Cusack, Rocío Rojo, Maia Lyall, Annie Bell, Helen Zheng, Oliver Teenan, Sally M. Till, David Arthur Hume, Peter Kind, Pridans Clare

This study shows that microglia are not essential for normal postnatal brain development and cognitive function in rats, as Fireko rats lack microglia but show no behavioral differences.

Microglia regulate nucleus accumbens synaptic development and circuit function underlying threat avoidance behaviors

Michael W. Gongwer, Fanny Etienne, Eric N. Moca, Megan S. Chappell, Sara V. Blagburn-Blanco, Jack P. Riley, Alexander S. Enos, Melody Haratian, Alex Qi, Rocío Rojo, Scott A. Wilke, Clare Pridans, Laura A. DeNardo, Lindsay M. De Biase

This study shows that microglia are essential for excitatory synapse formation in the nucleus accumbens during early development, impacting threat avoidance behaviors in adulthood.

Maternal tamoxifen treatment expands the macrophage population of early mouse embryos.

Rocío Rojo, Kristin A. Sauter, Lucas Lefevre, David A. Hume, Clare Pridans

Maternal tamoxifen treatment in early mouse embryos causes a 4-5-fold expansion of the macrophage population by 10.5dpc.
