捕捉胶质细胞吞噬的三维重建突触结构。A代表部分三维重建的浦肯野细胞树突(黄色)。沿着树突发现了高密度的多刺。在许多脊柱中,发现了异常的突起(来自脊柱的突起用红色表示)。这些突起在运动学习后小鼠小脑组织中被观察到频率很高。突起被Bergmann胶质突吞噬。用聚焦离子束扫描电子显微镜(FIB-SEM)捕获图像,用计算机软件进行三维重建。B显示突触前钮扣(青色)和突触后棘(黄色)的特写。红色代表突触前和突触后特化的突触接触面。正常的突触结构用半透明的颜色表示。 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
