Microglia maintain cellular, synaptic, and myelin homeostasis during development and normal function and response to injury. Surveilling icroglia actively explore their environment by dynamically extending thin processes that respond to local signals. Activated (“reactive,” or “effector”) microglia constitute a heterogeneous population that dynamically change in phenotype depending on their environmental context and may mediate either injury or neuroprotection, repair, and circuit refinement. Any type of injury in the CNS elicits activation of microglia, astrocytes, and oligodendrocyte precursors, which together with infiltrating cells from the blood in the case of blood-brain barrier disruption interact via several signals to elicit elimination of pathogens, limit the spatial extent of the lesion, and eventually promote tissue remodeling, repair, and remyelination. Neuroinflammation is a feature of essentially all types of neurologic disorders, including traumatic, vascular, and inflammatory/demyelinating lesions; autoimmune encephalitis; and neurodegenerative disorders and has a major role in mechanisms of epilepsy and pain.
