Question 2

Studies of the infant brain show signs of what scientists call synaptic pruning. What occurs during this process?
◦ The brain creates additional neural connections by removing parts of the surrounding bone.

◦ New cells work to "rewrite" old cells and ultimately change their functioning.
◦ New cells will not develop until the body makes sufficient physical space within the brain.
