Microglial depletion alters the brain neuroimmune response to acute binge ethanol withdrawal
Abstract Background Recent studies have implicated microglia—the resident immune cells of the brain—in the pathophysiology of alcoholism. Indeed, post-mortem alcoholic brains show increased microglial markers and increased immune gene expression; however, the effects of ethanol on microglial functio...
