Semaphorin 3A is a guidance factor that is implicated in axonal and dendritic development. Here, Yamashita et al. show that semaphorin 3A retrograde signalling via plexin A and dynein drives the localization of AMPA receptors to the dendrites where they are crucial for proper dendritic development.
