At the same time, the depolarization activates the pruning machinery—controlled by RhoA—in dendrites that did not receive the glutamate input. The winner dendrite takes all. view more ...

Specifically, the scientists found that the neuronal branches called "dendrites" remain largely unchanged in the highly active olfactory processing region of the mouse brain.

Synaptic pruning and the role of microglia Typically, during brain development, synaptic pruning occurs, where excess or weak synaptic connections are eliminated to make way for more efficient neural ...
