Pruning is an agricultural or horticultural process that involves the removal of different parts/components (such as buds, roots or even branches) of a plant. Pruning is done for different purposes; including to streamline the growing pattern of a tree or to improve the quality of fruits produced from trees.
However, the process through which neurons (upon maturation) influence cells to produce a fatty insulation shealth to provide insulation around it or the neuronal axons is known as myelination. This process is similar to what we have in electrical wires; where electrical wires are surrounded with insulation materials which does not affect the movement of electricity in the wire.
