Endogenous mGluR5 is required for CHPG-induced high-amplitude myelin Ca²⁺ transients to occur.

a, Schematic of treatment of larvae and live imaging of Ca²⁺ activity in myelin sheaths. b,b′, Top shows representative maximum time series projections of Tg(mbp:memGCaMP7s) fluorescence with Ca²⁺ transients detected by AQuA2 false-colored automatically; bottom show single time-point images from the time-lapse series and highlight transients identified within yellow boxes.
