The notion of brain development and neuronal pruning, which is crucially essential to the development brain function derived from his work.
About 1974, Frank Oppenheimer and I talked about the role of neural inhibition as a mechanism that refined the movement of babies. At the time we didn't know quite how structural neural pruning and programmed cell death would prove to be in shaping the nervous system.
From The New York Times:
Peter Huttenlocher, Explorer of the Brain’s Development, Dies at 82
Dr. Huttenlocher counted synapses, observing how much of the information coming to the brain was discarded as the mind became more efficient.
