          Brain Development Influenced by Immune System

          A new study provides further evidence for immune system activation during pregnancy and disruptions in brain development. Many adult diseases, researchers say, may originate during fetal development.

          Brain Plasticity: How Adult Born Neurons Get Wired

          Researchers report adult neurogenesis not only helps increase the number of cells in a neural network, it also promotes plasticity in the existing network. Additionally, they have identified the role the Bax gene plays in synaptic pruning.

          New Insights Into Synaptic Pruning During Brain Development

          Researchers shed light on the largely unstudied process of synaptic pruning in brain development, using mouse mitral cells, a neuron type in the olfactory system. The research reveals that neurons receiving a neurotransmitter signal are protected via specific chemical pathways while other dendrites in the same cell are triggered to undergo pruning.
