Fig. 1.4.1.33.  Three-dimensional reconstruction of dendritic spines of cerebellar Purkinje cell. Both the heads and necks of the spines are covered by the transparent processes of Bergmann astrocytes with the exception of regions where the synapses (red) were made with parallel axons. Cf the flipbook of serial sections of the same area and the detailed reconstruction of another spine in the next figure. (Mouse, cerebellum.)
