Microglial Cells & Depression










Hi Everyone!

Some of you who heard my Pain presentation in class may recall me telling you Glial cells will BIG in the future.

Further when researchers found when medication was given to stimulate microglial cells they increased back to normal levels and complete recovery of depression occurred. These effects also occurred within just a few days! That is BIG!
