Neuropathological correlates and genetic architecture of microglial activation in elderly human brain, Published online: 24 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-08279-3

The consequences of microglial activation in the aging human brain remain unknown. This study quantified microglial morphology and density in the elderly human brain to show that cortical microglial activation strongly associates with AD pathogenesis and may be an upstream contributor to cognitive decline via the accumulation of tau pathology.
