The protoplasmic astrocytes occupy defined territories within the CNS. Two adjacent astrocytes create their micro-anatomical domains (green and red). Only at the cells' peripheries do their processes overlap (yellow). Images represent x–y (large), x–z (bottom), and y–z (right) projections. Scale bar, 20 μm.
