About it
Microglia are the brain's cleaners and guards. They are small cells with thin, branching arms, spread all through the brain, and they keep moving their arms to check the space around them, clearing away waste and worn-out parts.
This one's six arms feel about gently all the time. Tap it and every arm stretches out, sweeps to and fro twice, and draws back in. Real microglia can sweep over their whole patch of brain in a few hours, and they help keep the connections between neurons tidy.
