Several authors asserted that although human beings are born with a huge number of neurons approximately half of them are lost within the two first years of life [1]. The rationale underlying this process is that the brain does not need an excessive number of nerve cells but need to amplify the already existing connections, increasing the number of synapses. In other words, during the course of development, the nervous system prioritizes qualitative aspects (improved transmission among and integration of neurons via synapses) over quantitative aspects (a large number of neurons with rather isolated actions).
