Microglia determine CSD susceptibility. Multiple CSD inductions cause M1-polarized activation of microglia. Resultant production of TNFα and ROS enhances the susceptibility of brain tissue to CSD development. The CSD-promoting action of TNFα can be inhibited by IGF-1. In addition, microglia polarized to the M2 activation mode by environment enrichment exhibit much less CSD susceptibility. The action of environmental enrichment can be mimicked by nasal administration of interleukin-11 (IL-11).
