The influence of retinal innervation on neurogenesis in the first optic ganglion of Drosophila.

abstract：:In this issue of Neuron, Chakrabarty et al. (2015) and Guillot-Sestier et al. (2015) reveal that the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 inhibits Aβ clearance by microglia, worsening cognitive decline in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). These studies provide further support that pro-inflammatory signaling is an ...

It remains unknown, however, how caspases are activated and how neurons escape death in LTD. Here we show that ca...
