// This study investigates the role of microglia in developing auditory brainstem circuits, focusing on their morphology and phagocytic activity during normal development and repopulation after depletion. Using CX3CR1+/EGFP mice, the researchers compared microglial features such as surface area, volume, branching, and lysosomes in both conditions. They found that repopulating microglia regain developmental characteristics associated with synaptic refinement, even after the normal developmental period. This indicates microglia can resume critical developmental functions to support circuit assembly beyond typical timeframes.
