一个3 d重建突触结构捕获胶质吞噬作用。代表的3 d重建的浦肯野细胞树突(黄色)。多刺被发现在一个高密度树突。在许多的刺,异常突起被发现从脊椎以红色标注(突起)。这些突起被观察到在组织取自一个高频鼠标运动学习后小脑。的突起被伯格曼吞没神经胶质的过程。捕捉到的图像聚焦离子束扫描电镜(FIB-SEM)和3 d重建使用电脑软件。B显示了一个近距离的突触前小结(青色)和突触后脊柱(黄色)。红色代表的突触联系飞机前和突触后专门化。正常的突触结构所示半透明的颜色。 The synaptic structures engulfed by Bergmann glia processes are shown in opaque colors. A portion of both pre and postsynaptic structures are undergoing phagocytosis by Bergmann glia, which results in volume reduction of the synaptic structure. Phagocytosis of the synaptic structure by glia was found more frequently in brain tissue taken after motor learning. Credit: Morizawa & Matsui
