Changes in microglial state are associated with changes in morphology, gene expression, and behaviour. Disease-associated or -activated microglia tend to be more amoeboid in shape, with retracted processes, and demonstrate increased phagocytosis. Dystrophic or senescent microglia exhibit cytorrhexis, and a decrease in phagocytosis and motility.
