General Information
Term synapse pruning ID (Ontology) GO:0098883 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A cellular process that results in the controlled breakdown of synapse. After it starts the process is continuous until the synapse has disappeared.[ PubMed:12062020 PubMed:18083105 PubMed:22632716 PubMed:29844190 ]
Also Known As"synapse clearance" ; "synapse disassembly" ; "synapse elimination" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
