Competition from newborn granule cells does not drive axonal retraction of silenced old granule cells in the adult hippocampus

In the developing nervous system synaptic refinement, typified by the neuromuscular junction where supernumerary connections are eliminated by axon retraction leaving the postsynaptic target innervated by a single dominant input, critically regulates neuronal circuit formation. Whether such competit...
