Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: Gino is removing weeds to help roses grow, which is a process of eliminating unnecessary elements to promote healthy development.
Identify the key concept: In brain development, a similar process involves removing unnecessary neural connections to strengthen important ones.
Consider the options: Synaptic pruning, habituation, neural modification, and sensory adaptation.
Define synaptic pruning: It is the process where extra neurons and synaptic connections are eliminated to increase the efficiency of neuronal transmissions.
Relate the analogy: Just as Gino removes weeds to help roses grow, synaptic pruning removes excess synapses to enhance brain function.
