Treatment to Calm Hyperactive Brain Immune Cells

Caption

High-magnification images of the brain without treatment (left) and with treatment (right). Both images show a neonatal animal brain following exposure to inflammation. The one that received targeted treatment to calm down hyperactive immune cells has significantly more white matter (seen as dark circles in the images), critical for connectivity in the brain and body.
