Fig. 17.6. Another example of a filamentous body, this one in the primary visual cortex of a 23 year old monkey. The cytoplasm of much of the body is filled with thin filaments, but at the top of the image it gives rise to a process that has a more normal looking cytoplasm. The process has an irregular shape and contains a bundle of filaments (arrow), suggesting that it might be derived from an astrocyte.
