Microglia Tweak Retinogeniculate Pathways during Visual Circuit Refinement

Cheadle et al. reveal that microglia expressing TWEAK facilitate synapse elimination through a novel, non-phagocytic mechanism in the retinogeniculate pathway during visual circuit development. This mechanism is experience-dependent and occurs through the local binding of TWEAK to postsynaptic Fn14.
