Fig. 1: Transient Microglial-Neuronal Physical Interactions.

Fig. 1:

Microglia physically interact with neurons in a variety of ways. Some of these interactions are transient and can involve: (1) microglial processes contacting neuronal somata, (2) microglial cell bodies aligning along the axon initial segment (3) microglial processes contacting the neuronal axon, and (4) microglial processes contacting the neuronal synapse including (5) pre- and post-synaptic elements.
