Study Shows Microglia Play Crucial Role in Brain’s Recovery from Anesthesia

Recent study by Mayo Clinic reveals the crucial role of microglia in aiding the brain’s recovery from anesthesia, offering potential for innovative treatments for anesthesia-related complications. Microglia engage with neurons and inhibitory synapses to mitigate the aftereffects of anesthesia, enhancing neuronal activity for brain awakening. Understanding the pivotal role of microglia in aiding the brain’s awakening process post-anesthesia opens new possibilities for managing and mitigating the adverse effects of sedation.
