There were no effects of stress or sex on microglia in CA1 at either time point. (A) There were no differences in cell counts CA1 of males or females after 6 days of variable stress. (B) Microglia phenotypes did not differ between male and female mice in CA1 when exposed to 6 days of variable stress. (C) 6 days of variable stress did not alter the ratio of primed to surveillant microglia in either sex. (D) There were no differences in cell counts CA1 of males or females after 28 days of variable stress. (B) Microglia phenotypes did not differ between male and female mice in CA1 when exposed to 28 days of variable stress. (C) 28 days of variable stress did not alter the ratio of primed to surveillant microglia in either sex.

Cells were counted on 3 sections per animal and naveraged

for each animal, n= 5 animals per group. Figures show mean ​+SEM. ∗Indicates significant interaction, # indicates a main effect of stress and ˆ indicates a main effect of sex.
