A developmental researcher is comparing the brain structures of two young adults who have both spent years mastering the violin. Brain Scan A shows an incredibly dense and widespread network of neural pathways in the motor cortex. Brain Scan B shows a less dense, but more organized and defined network of pathways in the same region, with fewer redundant connections. Based on the principle that brain development involves refining connections for efficiency, which of the following is the most likely analysis of this situation?
