Age is associated with proliferating microglial number in O. aries.

“Increased numbers of proliferating microglia were observed in the cortex, hippocampus and portions of the striatum in both species.”

Age is associated with proliferating microglial number in rats.

“This proliferation declined at the oldest timepoint assessed (i.e. 18 months old) in rats, a pattern not seen in the sheep.”
