A study by the Mayo Clinic highlights the critical role of microglia in aiding the brain’s recovery from anesthesia, offering new insights into managing post-anesthesia complications and enhancing patient care., found that the cells serving as the central nervous system’s primary defense mechanism also contribute to the brain’s recovery from anesthesia. This finding opens up new possibilities for developing techniques to tackle complications following anesthesia.
The brain consists of a network of neurons that fire and spur activity throughout the body. Neurons are connected by synapses that receive and transmit signals enabling one to move, think, feel, and communicate. In this environment, microglia help keep the brain healthy, stable, and functioning. Although microglia were discovered more than 100 years ago, it wasn’t until the last 20 years that they became a serious research focus.
“We now can see microglia increase their surveillance and patrol the brain’s neural activity like a police officer at night responding to suspicious activity when all else is quiet,” Dr. Wu says.
