What Process is Initiated in Neurons That Fail to Make

Question

What process is initiated in neurons that fail to make connections?
A)regeneration
B)apoptosis
C)oxidative phosphorylation
D)re-differentiation
E)invagination

Accepted Answer

Apoptosis is programmed cell death that occurs when cells fail to make proper connections. This is a normal part of neural development as overproduction of neurons occurs and those that fail to make connections are eliminated to refine the neural network.
