Microglia permit climbing fiber elimination by promoting GABAergic inhibition in the developing cerebellum
In the mammalian cerebellum, surplus synapses between climbing fibers (CF) and Purkinje cells (PC) are developmentally pruned. Here, Nakayama and colleagues show that ablation of microglia impairs pruning of CF-PC synapses because of dysfunction of GABAergic inhibition prerequisite for pruning.
