Tonic communication

TONIC COMMUNICATION A RE-VIEW OF HUMAN NONVERBAL BEHAVIOR... 

Direct evidence of a neuronal-microglia communication mechanism through the fractalkine system came from in vivo experiments using CX3CR1-deficient mice showing that neuronal-derived fractalkine and its interaction with fractalkine receptor plays a critical role in tonic inhibition of microglial mediated neurotoxicity (66). In three clinically relevant models—CNS response to systemic inflammation, the l-methyl-4 phenyl-1,2,3,6 tetra-hydropyridine (MPTP)...
