FLASH-RT did not induce astrocytic hypertrophy. Representative z stacks from laser scanning confocal microscopy (green, panel A) and volumetric analysis of 3D reconstruction for hippocampal astrocytes (green, GFAP, panel B) showed increased soma volume with thicker and longer stelae indicating astrocytic hypertrophy one month after 10 Gy CONV-RT. The astrocytic morphology in the FLASH-irradiated group was comparable to controls (panel C). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6 animals per group). P values are derived from non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H test and Mann-Whitney’s comparison between each group as indicated. Scale bar = 10 μm (panels A and B).
