__________ is when frequently used brain synapses begin to strengthen and rarely used connections begin to prune. a. induction b. plasticity c. synaptogenesis d. elasticity please select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

Respuesta :

Synaptogenesis is the process in which brain synapses that are used regularly start to get stronger, whereas connections that are rarely used start to get pruned.

Synapses, the points of contact where information is passed between neurons, are formed during a process known as synaptogenesis. This is necessary for the development of brain networks as well as for the overall design of brain connectivity. Synapses may have an electrochemical makeup.  Another type of synapse is a gap junction, where signals are transmitted solely through electrical impulses. Huttenlocher and colleagues' groundbreaking work from the 1970s to the 1980s on the quantification of synapses has shown that synaptogenesis speeds up during the third trimester as a result of an increase in dendritic sprouting and branching, or arborization

Neurotransmitters, which are released as an electrical signal travels along the presynaptic neuron, attach to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron and cause them to be activated or inhibited.
