Microglia are unique cells of the central nervous system (CNS) with a distinct ontogeny and molecular profile. They are the predominant immune resident cell in the CNS. Recent studies have revealed a diversity of transient and terminal physical interactions between microglia and neurons in the vertebrate brain. In this review, we follow the historical trail of the discovery of these interactions, summarize their notable features, provide implications of these discoveries to CNS function, emphasize emerging themes along the way and peak into the future of what outstanding questions remain to move the field forward.
