A stylized illustration depicts an activated microglial cell with an enlarged soma and thick, branching processes. As a glial cell within neural tissue, it represents the resident macrophage of the CNS (central nervous system) in primates. In neuroanatomy and neuroimmunology, reactive microglia surveil the parenchyma, phagocytose debris, and mediate neuroinflammation via cytokine release. The cell type resides throughout brain and spinal cord gray and white matter.
