From: Morphometric characterization of microglial phenotypes in human cerebral cortex
Four main phenotypes represent the population of resident IBA1-IR cells in human dACC gray matter. Ramified microglia (a) display a small circular cell body with highly ramified processes. Primed microglia (b) present a bigger and less round cell body with similar ramification patterns when compared to the ramified phenotype. Reactive microglia (c) display an amoeboid cell body but still present a few ramified processes compared to amoeboid microglia (d), which can present, at most, two unramified processes or be completely devoid of them. These cells are occasionally observed to be associated with blood vessels (asterisks). Scale bars: 10 μm.
