Resumen de The mind minders
Costandi discusses shape-shifters known as microglia. As master multitaskers, microglia play many different roles. On the one hand, they are the brain's emergency workers, swarming to injuries and clearing away the debris to allow healing to begin. On the other hand, during times of rest, they are its gardeners and caretakers, overseeing the growth of new neurons, cultivating new connections and pruning back regions that threaten to overgrow. They may also facilitate learning, by preparing the ground for memories to form.
