We are happy to present AAV-Ncan-GFP, a genetically-encoded fluorescent probe for live #imaging of the extracellular matrix in the mouse brain. Stay tuned for the peer-reviewed version, with more insights on live #ECM monitoring by two-photon microscopy!.

I think the field needs to start reconsidering #microglia as The single most important mediator of #SynapticPruning, a widespread concept. We offered our Perspective on whether microglia are hunters or gatherers of brain synapses here.

Mice lacking microglia (Csf1r∆FIRE/∆FIRE) have normal.-synapse number and maturation.-seizure susceptibility and hippocampal-prefrontal cortex coherence.-segregation of inputs into the lateral geniculate nucleus.-neuronal and astrocytic gene expression.

More evidence in favour of microglia as synapse gatherers, not hunters, as we discuss here.

Typical development of synaptic and neuronal properties can proceed without microglia in the cortex and thalamus @NatureNeuro .
