A plasma membrane microdomain compartmentalizes ephrin-generated cAMP signals to prune developing retinal axon arbors

It is unclear what role cholesterol-enriched domains of the plasma membrane play in mediating the development of neuronal circuits. Here, the authors show that such domains localize ephrin-A-induced cAMP signals, causing the pruning of retinal ganglion cell axons.
