  		Tripartite synapses, maturing. A schematic hypothetical survey of mGluR5-mediated calcium (Ca2÷) rises and gliotransmitter release in multicellular glial networks during brain maturation (left) versus local responses in glial microdomains of the mature brain (right). These changes may be reversible after injury. Neurons are shown in gray.
