english: Now that might sound bad, but actually this is a really important developmental process, because gray matter contains cell bodies and connections between cells, the synapses, and this decline in gray matter volume during prefrontal cortex is thought to correspond to synaptic pruning, the elimination of unwanted synapses.
non_english: To možda zvuči loše, ali je to zapravo veoma važan razvojni proces, zato što siva masa sadrži tela ćelija i veze između ćelija, sinapse, a smanjivanje zapremine sive mase u prefrontalnom korteksu se smatra ekvivalentom sinaptičkom orezivanju eliminaciji neželjenih sinapsi.
