Pruning is the practice of removing parameters (which may entail removing individual parameters, or parameters in groups such as by neurons) from an existing artificial neural networks. [1] The goal of this process is to maintain accuracy of the network while increasing its efficiency .
Synaptic pruning, a phase in the development of the nervous system, is the process of synapse elimination that occurs between early childhood and the onset of puberty in many mammals, including humans. [1] Pruning starts near the time of birth and continues into the late-20s. [2]

The neuroscience of religion, also known as neurotheology, and as spiritual neuroscience, [1] attempts to explain religious experience and behaviour in neuroscientific terms. [2] It is the study of correlations of neural phenomena with subjective experiences of spirituality and hypotheses to explain these phenomena.
This "pruning" mechanism removes redundant connections in the brain. Huttenlocher found that in individuals with intellectual disabilities, this mechanism works differently. [2] Huttenlocher also became an early authority on Reye's syndrome, and in 1987 launched the first clinic in the United States for children with tuberous sclerosis. [4]
The dual systems model, also known as the maturational imbalance model, [1] is a theory arising from developmental cognitive neuroscience which posits that increased risk-taking during adolescence is a result of a combination of heightened reward sensitivity and immature impulse control.
Pruning is defined as the manual removal of branches to alter a plant’s health and form. It's a term most often used when discussing the care of trees and woody shrubs. Since most home gardens ...
Perceptual narrowing is a developmental process during which the brain uses environmental experiences to shape perceptual abilities. This process improves the perception of things that people experience often and causes them to experience a decline in the ability to perceive some things to which they are not often exposed.
