TL;DR: In this paper , the authors trace and 3D reconstruct three neighboring astrocytes using serial block-face scanning electron microscopy and reveal a spongiform morphology resulting from the abundance of reflexive and leaflet processes.

TL;DR: The branching architecture of three neighboring astrocytes, their contact interfaces, and their surrounding neurites and synapses have been traced and 3D reconstructed using serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) and reveal extensive reflexive, loop-like processes that serve as scaffolds to neurite and give rise to spongiformAstrocytic morphology.
