abstract = {Microglia are the primary resident innate immune cells of
the central nervous system (CNS). They possess branched,
motile cell processes that are important for their cellular
functions. To study the pathways that control microglial
morphology and motility under physiological and disease
conditions, it is necessary to quantify microglial
morphology and motility precisely and reliably. Several
image analysis approaches are available for the
quantification of microglial morphology and motility.
However, they are either not automated, not freely
accessible, and/or limited in the number of morphology and
motility parameters that can be assessed. Thus, we have
developed MotiQ, an open-source, freely accessible software
for automated quantification of microglial motility and
morphology. MotiQ allows quantification of a diverse set of
cellular motility and morphology parameters, including the
parameters that have become gold standard in the microglia
field. We demonstrate that MotiQ can be applied to in vivo,
ex vivo, and in vitro data from confocal, epifluorescence,
or two-photon microscopy and we compare its results to other
analysis approaches. We suggest MotiQ as a versatile and
customizable tool to study microglia.},
