Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphological and functional characteristics of microglial cells in the rat striatum at different stages of postnatal development. Using immunocytochemical methods and fluorescent microscopy, brain sections were analysed at each of the following postnatal ages: day 7 (n = 4), day 14 (n = 3), 4 to 6 months (n = 3). Different morphological and functional types of microglial cells were identified and characterized in details. It was noted that microglia activated during normal brain development do not contain vimentin, which is characteristic of stroke-activated microglia.
