The central nervous system undergoes extensive postnatal synapse remodeling that is critical for the formation of mature neural circuits. In a recent issue of Science, Vainchtein et al. (2018) describe an additional role for astrocyte-derived interleukin-33 (IL-33) in promoting synapse refinement by microglia in the developing brain.
