Microglial-neuronal interactions during neurodegenerative diseases.

The impact of the brain's immune response to disease is no longer relegated to a secondary event of limited interest. Multiple types of brain and spinal cord injuries and diseases show varying immune phenotypes over the time course of the disease. The collection of articles illustrates the wide reach of brain immunity and provides research papers and reviews that illustrate this point. These articles have added both new information and new directions to consider, and I would like to thank all of the participants for their insightful contributions to the field.
