The unexpected cells helping to shape young brains

Jennifer Michalowski — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 17:30:26 +0000

When the brain first wires itself up in early development, it creates more connections than it actually needs. Some of these connections, or synapses, will transmit critical signals as young animals begin to sense their surroundings. Others will be eliminated as the brain matures. Only those that the animal needs to understand and interact with...
