The multi‐tasking microglia in the CNS. Microglia can perform diverse functions to maintain overall tissue integrity at steady‐state conditions including: Enhancing memory and learning, maintaining oligodendrocyte progenitors and contributing to the myelinogenesis, actively screening the surroundings, involving in neural repair by phagocytic scavenging, remodeling the brain circuits through synaptic pruning and neuronal plasticity, and sprouting vessels
