Microglia in Circumventricular Organs: The Pineal Gland Example
Estela M. Muñoz
Abstract
Microglia in circumventricular organs (CVOs) continuously adapt to react differentially to the diverse challenges they face. Herein, I discuss microglia heterogeneity in CVOs, including pineal gland. Further studies are needed to better understand microglia dynamics in these unique brain areas. .
