Abstract:
Activated microglia function after pathologic event has been extensively investigated .In recent decades , it has be-come evident that resting microglia cells are highly dynamic surveillants .Microglia could influence synaptic development and connectiv-ity in the normal and developing brain .Microglia dysfunction results in behavioral deficits , indicating that microglia are essential for normal brain function .Here we summarize the functions of microglia in the physiological conditions , its effects on neural development , the formation of synapses and the regulation of the human′s behavior .
