| Research Abstract |
Although Hoxb8-lineage microglia are indicated to be involved in the obsessive-compulsive disorder spectrum disorder, there are few lines of evidence between microglia and emotional regulation. In this project I indicated that cloned microglia and a part of bone marrow progenitorcells expressed Hoxb8. Injection of these cells directly into striatum improved stress-vulnerability in the forced-swimming stressed mice. These results suggest that microglia may be involved in stress-regulation of higher brain functions.
