U. of Rochester 22/03/16 : "The brain’s network of connections is like a garden, said R. Lowery [...] a co-author of the study.  “Not only does it require nourishment and a healthy environment, but every once in a while you need to prune dead branches and pull up weeds in order to allow new flowers to grow"...
