Synaptic pruning
Process of synapse elimination that occurs between early childhood and the onset of puberty
Synaptic pruning, a phase in the development of the nervous system, is the process of synapse elimination that occurs between early childhood and the onset of puberty in many mammals, including humans. Pruning starts near the time of birth and continues into the late-20s. During the pruning of a synapse, both the axon and the dendrite decay and die off. Synaptic pruning was traditionally considered to be complete by the time of sexual maturation, but MRI studies have discounted this idea.
