Understanding Learning and Brain Development in Humans
How does learning affect brain development? In this video, Ralph Caspers explains the intricate changes occurring in our brains as they develop over time. With a focus on neural connections, he discusses how experiences shape cognitive growth and the ongoing process of learning from infancy to adulthood.
Synaptic Pruning and Brain Development in Early Childhood
This video explores synaptic pruning, a natural process where unnecessary neural connections are eliminated to enhance brain efficiency. It highlights how this process shapes neural wiring during development and its potential implications for neurological health.

@DaniBeckman @chydorina Kinda went down a wormhole recently and been thinking about this too. This was interesting, though I do take issue with the wording in some of the quotes from Shatz: https://t.co/jPXB2sd0yA

@XianJaneway (Twitter)@amandalhu Hey, in 2015, apparently they found a connection between the immune system & the microglia in retinas that support synaptic pruning, called "complement proteins" : https://t.co/dyUOZyrEO2

Abstract Synopsis
- Synaptic pruning is a natural process in the brain where extra or weaker connections between neurons are eliminated to improve the efficiency of neural networks.
- This process mainly occurs during development, helping the brain organize itself better as we grow.
- It may also play a role in certain diseases if the pruning happens excessively or improperly, potentially leading to neurological or psychiatric conditions.]
