Here is a part of the abstract briefly describing what you see here:
Parenchymal microglia are the principal immune cells of the brain. Time-lapse imaging of GFP-labeled microglia demonstrates that the fine termini of microglial processes are highly dynamic in the intact mouse cortex. Upon local brain injury, microglial processes rapidly and autonomously converge on the site of injury without cell body movement, establishing a potential barrier between the healthy and injured tissue.
I am fascinated by Glial cells! Clearly they play a powerful role that I suspect controls all else! Astrocytes, macrogia, neuroglia.
Read a great book "The Root of Thought"

This is from Davalos et. al, Nature Neuroscience 8, 752 - 758 (2005).
It is microglia in a mouse brain reacting to a laser ablation.

Why you don't explain something about this video?It looks very interesting,but without any comment it is hard to appreciate....
