The Importance of Neural Pruning

  Your nervous system is made up of millions of neurons connected via complex networks. In fact, from gestation, your body produces a huge number of neurons that fulfill various functions. However, not all the cells that are generated end up being useful. Therefore, they’re eliminated with neural pruning. Neural pruning is a natural process that occurs at different stages of your life. It’s said to be essential for optimizing your brain activity and learning. However, some evidence indicates that it could also be related to certain well-studied mental disorders. Neural pruning Neurons are the anatomical and functional units of the…
