Abstract
Interferons and central nervous system resident macrophages, microglia, are well-known for their respective roles in antiviral defense and phagocytosis. Using a classic experimental paradigm for examining activity-dependent neural plasticity, Escoubas, Dorman, et al. recently identified a role for microglial type I interferon signaling in the clearance of unwanted neurons during mouse brain development.
