The brain's process of eliminating weak or unused synaptic connections to strengthen and refine remaining neural circuits.
From Old French 'proignier' meaning 'to trim, prune.' Brain prunes connections like a gardener prunes a bush.
Synaptic pruning is your brain's 'use it or lose it' policy — unused connections get trimmed away so the important ones can grow stronger!
