From: Glial remodeling enhances short-term memory performance in Wistar rats
Short-term memory enhancement is specifically related to microglial repopulation. Memory performance at 48 h after chronic microglial depletion with diphtheria toxin injection in Cx3cr1-Dtr rats compared to wild-types (wt). a Weight change with DT injection (F(15,210) = 6.16, p = 0.026). b Novel object recognition discrimination ratio in wild-type (wt) and Cx3cr1-Dtr rats (n = 7–8). c Novel place recognition discrimination ratio (n = 7 per group). *p < 0.05; repeated measures one-way ANOVA followed by Student’s unpaired t tests. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM
