Question

The elimination of neurons as the result of nonuse or lack of stimulation is called __________. hierarchical integration independence of systems myelination synaptic pruning

Answer 1

Synaptic Pruning is the correct answer

Answer 2

The correct answer is - synaptic pruning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Synaptic pruning is a process that takes place naturally in the brain. In this process, the brain eliminates neurons and extra synapses due to a lack of stimulation or nonuse of these synapses and neurons.

It is the way of removing the extra connection in the brain that is not in use anymore, for better and fast transmission of signals.

Thus, the correct answer is -synaptic pruning.
