Activity-dependent synapse elimination requires caspase-3 activation
During brain development, synapses are initially formed in excess and are later eliminated in an activity-dependent manner. Weak synapses are preferentially removed, but the mechanism linking neuronal activity to synapse removal is unclear. Here, we show that, in the developing mouse visual pathway,...
