Axon pruning in Drosophila mushroom body neurons appears to share molecular mechanisms with:
A) motor axon terminal refinement at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction.
B) regulation of callosal projections by mammalian corticocortical projection neurons.
C) elimination of distal fragments of mammalian axons severed by injury.
D) ephrin-mediated repulsion in the vertebrate tectum/superior colliculus.
E) None of the above
