D) Myelination and pruning

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelination, the process of coating neurons with myelin, and pruning, the process of eliminating unnecessary or unused synapses, are responsible for the improvements in memory, attention, and processing speed. As the brain develops, more and more neurons become myelinated, allowing for faster and more efficient communication between brain regions. At the same time, the brain prunes away unnecessary connections, allowing for more streamlined and focused processing.
