Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Use-it-or-lose-it pruning process refers to the brain's ability to strengthen necessary neural connections while losing unnecessary ones. This process helps to refine the brain's neural network and function more efficiently. Therefore, option C (neural connections) is the best choice. The other options, such as secure attachments, epigenetic marks, and critical periods, do not relate to the phenomenon of pruning in the brain.
