| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) induce neural and behavioral plasticity. To investigate how this plasticity inducing stimulation affects microglia, which is involved in astrocyte, we performed IBA-1 immunohistochemistry in mouse (C57BL6/J) and IP3R 2 knockout mice brains that underwent tDCS. Morphometric analyses suggest that this microglial cell body enlargement depends on astrocytic Ca2+ activity. Our results parallel with the reduced degree of tDCS-induced astrocytic Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> surges during deep isoflurane or urethane anesthesia and suggest that and their morphological changes may play a role in long-term effects of tDCS. We also perform 2-photone imaging of microglial dynamics before- and after stimulation in vivo, and it suggested that the surveillance area showed the trend to shrink after tDCS. It may the noradrenaline released from neuron by tDCS suppress branch extension of microglia.
