Description

Microglia depletion significantly lowered spine density in young (developing) but not mature adult-born-granule-cells (abGCs) in the olfactory bulb. PLX5622 significantly reduces microglia related gene transcripts. Overall design: We tested mouse olfactory bulb transcription in WT mice versus mice treated with a PLX5622 diet (inducing a near-complete microglia depletion).
