Sexual dimorphism of microglia and synapses during mouse postnatal development
ABSTRACT Microglia participate in synapse remodeling in the cortex and hippocampus during mouse postnatal development. Although sex differences in microglia activity during embryonic development have been reported in these regions, it remains unexplored whether microglia show sexually dimorphic features during the early postnatal period, a critical window for synapse formation and maturation. Here, we investigated morphological and functional features of microglia across early postnatal development as well as morphological features of both pre‐ and postsynaptic neuronal compartments in the mouse hippocampus. We found a s...

Microglia: Driving critical periods and sexual differentiation of the brain
ABSTRACT The proverbial role of microglia during brain development is shifting from passive members of the brain's immune system to active participants that are able to dictate enduring outcomes. Despite these advances, little attention has been paid to one of the most critical components of early brain development—sexual differentiation. Mounting evidence suggests that the normal developmental functions microglia perform—cell number regulation and synaptic connectivity—may be involved in the sex‐specific patterning of the brain during these early sensitive periods, and may have lasting sex‐dependent and sex‐in...

A Novel Approach to Training Attention and Gaze in ASD: A Feasibility and Efficacy Pilot Study
Conclusion: We delivered a robust, low‐cost, gaze‐contingent game system for home use that, in our pilot training sample, improved the attention orienting and eye movement performance of adolescent participants in 8 weeks of training. We are currently conducting a clinical trial to replicate these results and to examine what, if any, aspects of training transfer to more real‐world tasks. This article is protected by copyright.
