There is some speculation that glial or microglial cells invoke the immune system to prune the brain of excess neural connections. In schizophrenia, it is suggested that this process is accelerated, and that too much pruning occurs. The antithesis of this might be autistic disorders, where too little pruning is thought to occur.
