During Alzheimer’s disease progression, microglia dynamically change in a continuum from two different, but potentially overlapping states of activation (M2 and M1 phenotypes), that eventually converge towards a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition. This event leads to neurotoxic accumulation of Aβ peptide. (A higher resolution / colour version of this figure is available in the electronic copy of the article).
