Ultrastructure of junction areas between neurons and astrocytes in rat supraoptic nuclei

Figure 1 Electron microscopic observation of HGJ. A: A dendrite (D) contacts with the process of ASs (G), the arrow indicates the thickened and dark stained cellmembrane, and there is a narrow cleft between them. B: Peroxidase labeling shows a dendrite (D) and a process of astrocyte (G). C: Located between the Cx32-LI dendrites (D) (5 nm black gold particles labeling, black arrow) and astrocytic process (G) (peroxidase labeling).
