Emerging genetic studies implicate microglia in Alzheimer’s disease and other brain diseases, yet it's unclear how they contribute to cognitive dysfunction. Microglia eliminate synaptic connections using molecules from the innate immune system, shedding light on mechanisms of pathological synapse loss. This session will outline paths to define microglia-mediated disease mechanisms, highlighting new models and approaches that bridge gaps between genetics, cellular states, and function.
