Microglia transform in response to changes sensory or neural activity, such as deprivation. However, little is known about how specific frequencies of brain rhythms, affect microglia and cytokine signaling. Using visual noninvasive flickering stimulation (flicker) induce electrical activity at 40 hertz, within the gamma band, 20 beta we found that these rhythms differentially microglial morphology expression healthy animals. Flicker induced certain cytokines independently microglia,...
Abstract Microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, transform in response to changes sensory or neural activity, like deprivation. However, little is known about how specific frequencies of brain rhythms, impact microglia and cytokine signaling. Using visual noninvasive flickering stimulation (flicker) induce electrical activity at different frequencies, 40Hz, within gamma band 20Hz, beta band, we discovered these rhythms differentially affect microglial morphology expression healthy...
