Synaptic pruning is the process by which unnecessary connections between neurons are eliminated in the brain, making neural pathways more efficient. It occurs during development and helps to sculpt and fine-tune the neural networks.
The brain's ability to change and reorganize itself based on experience or learning.
Neuronal Connectivity: Refers to how neurons are connected to each other within the brain.
Gray Matter: The part of the brain composed of cell bodies and synapses, where synaptic pruning primarily takes place.
