Limited synapse overproduction can speed development but sometimes with long-term energy and discrimination penalties.
Neural circuit development requires that synapses be formed between appropriate neurons. In addition, for a hierarchical network, successful development involves a sequencing of developmental events. It has been suggested that one mechanism that helps speed up development of proper connections is an...
