Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19227-5, published online 23 October 2020

The original version of this article contained an error in the labelling of the bar graphs to the right of Fig. 3b, 3c, 3d and 3e, in which the symbols + and – representing addition or absence of the SYK inhibitor R406, respectively, were inadvertently switched. This has been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the article.

The original version of this article also contained an error in the title of the legend for Fig. 2. which incorrectly read ‘TREM2 knockout microglia exhibit decreased caspase activation at baseline and after cytokine starvation’. The correct version states ‘increased’ in place of ‘decreased’. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the article.
