Perineuronal glial nets in the rat spinal cord. A Golgi study.
Perineuronal glial nets in the rat spinal cord were studied. According to the density of the nets and the thickness of the processes which form them, different types of nets were demonstrated. In addition to nets originating from microglial cells, nets formed by smooth protoplasmic astrocytes are also described.
