Brain tissue is vulnerable to temperature changes, which are known to affect the structure and function of neural circuits. Owing to their dynamic ramified processes, microglia, which serve as immune cells in the brain, are associated with surveillance of the brain environment and mediate synaptic pruning to reorganize neural circuits. In this section, we discuss the possible role of microglia as temperature sensors in the brain via thermosensitive transient receptor potential channels and their role in reorganization of neural circuits.
