When Baby Jaleel was born,stimulation in his brain resulted in a massive overabundance of synapses.As synapses formed,many surrounding neurons died.This process is known as
A) myelination.
B) neurotransmission.
C) neuroimaging.
D) programmed cell death.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the scenario, where surrounding neurons die as a result of the overabundance of synapses, is known as programmed cell death. Myelination refers to the process of forming a protective coating around neurons, neurotransmission refers to the process of sending signals between neurons, and neuroimaging refers to the use of imaging techniques to visualize the brain. None of these processes perfectly match the scenario described in the question. Therefore, the best answer is D.
