“How your immune system talks to your brain” with CSHL Assistant Professor Lucas Cheadle.
The Cheadle lab found that what we sense, and the world around us, can change how certain cells in the brain, called microglia, behave. These changes and external factors help microglia work with nearby neurons to strengthen some connections between them and get rid of others. So, in layman’s terms? Your immune system works hard to ward off danger, but it also plays a large role in keeping your brain happy, healthy, and strong.
