Movie 1

In vivo time-lapse imaging shows clearance of PI+ cells and appearance of pyknotic nuclei after brain injury. The movie was recorded in an H2A:GFP animal in the presence of PI from 120 to 230 min after injury. PI+ cells (magenta arrows) are removed, while pyknotic nuclei (white arrows) progressively appear within this time window. Scale bar, 15 μm.

Rapid clearance of cellular debris by microglia limits secondary neuronal cell death after brain injury in vivo
