Abstract
Olfactory deficits are increasingly recognized in a variety of neurological, neurodevelopmental, psychiatric and viral diseases. While the pathology underlying olfactory loss is likely to differ across diseases, one shared feature may be an immune response mediated by microglia. Microglia orchestrate the brain's response to environmental insults and maintain neurodevelopmental homeostasis. Here, we explore the potential involvement of microglia in olfactory development and loss in disease. The effects of microglia-mediated immune response during development may be of special relevance to the olfactory system, which is unique in both its vulnerability to environmental insults as well as its extended period of neurogenesis and neuronal migration.
