Microglia, which comprise approximately 10％ of total cells in the brain, are the resident immune cells in the central nervous system and contribute to maintaining the brain homeostasis through monitoring their microenvironment (Kettenmann et al., 2011). Recent studies have reported that microglia also regulate neural circuit formation after birth. The functional transition in microglia has been considered to correlate with their morphological changes over time.
