Model: Intracortical penetration injury from bilateral microdialysis probe implantation (300 micrometre outer diameter, 4 mm length) into cortical area V1/V2 at a 30 degree angle
At 6 h after insertion the distance at which microglia had a 50 per cent probability of being active fell from 177.1 micrometres with artificial cerebrospinal fluid to 93.0 micrometres with dexamethasone, with index values indicating less reactive microglia. Some atypical non-polarised microglial m…
