idk synamtouc pruning and the grey turns into whiteb
changes i t eh brain during early adulthood
increased synaptic pruning - extra neurons and synaptic connections are eliminated i. order to increase the efficacy of neuronal transmission
increases myelination humans are born with little to no myelin in cbs
improved connectivity larger and widely more distributed neural networks,
