Abstract
Microglia are increasingly recognized as developmental sculptors of neural circuits. In this issue of Neuron, VanRyzin etal. (2019) demonstrate a novel mechanism by which endocannabinoids drive microglia to phagocytose newborn astrocytes in the medial amygdala of male rats, promoting sex differences in social play behavior.
