The role of glial cells in synapse elimination

Publication year: 2011 Source: Current Opinion in Neurobiology, Available online 27 October 2011 Won-Suk Chung, Ben A Barres Excessive synapses generated during early development are eliminated extensively to form functionally mature neural circuits. Synapses in juvenile and mature brains are highly dynamic, and undergo remodeling processes through constant formation and elimination of dendritic spines.
