Quantification of astrocytic synaptic pruning in mouse hippocampal slices in response to ex vivo Aβ treatment via colocalization analysis with C1q

Summary: Quantification of synaptic engulfment is an indirect measurement of synaptic pruning. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for the volumetric rendering of individual high-resolution astrocytes in the CA1 region of hippocampus in an ex vivo model of amyloid-beta (Aβ) treatment. The protocol...
