Description:
Article During development, neurons prune their axons and dendrites to eliminate excessive or inappropriate connections initially formed but the mechanistic details of the pruning process are not completely understood. Here the authors visualize pruning events in dendritic branches in Drosophila and study the role of calcium transients and endocytosis in this process.
