Different morphologies of microglia in AD, PD, and NC. (a, b) Dystrophic microglia from striatal white matter and cortex of two AD patients which displayed twisted or fragmented processes and cell body enlargement. (c, d) Activated and dystrophic microglia from striatum of two PD patients which showed cell body enlargement and fragmented processes. (e, f) Resting microglia from striatum of two health controls which showed the small cell body with highly branched processes. The scale represents 400 μm.
