2.8 The Adaptable Brain
mixed difficulty
How would synaptic pruning contribute to improved cognitive efficiency?
It leads to increased production of neurotransmitters enhancing signal transmission speed.
It increases the total number of synapses, leading to greater computational power.
It eliminates weaker synaptic connections, thereby fine-tuning neural pathways for faster processing.
It prevents any excess energy usage in unnecessary synapses improving overall functioning efficiency.
