NeuroD1 reduces the areas of the brain with neuron loss

Caption

Production of NeuroD1 in microglial cells induces their development into neurons, therefore decreasing the area of the brain with neuron loss. In scans of the mice brains, neurons are stained in red, while the dark patches represent areas with neuron loss.
