prune hidden neurons in neural network

I am trying to use 'prune' to prune the hidden layers in the following neural network. To start of with I define 1000 hidden neurons.
load('x1Ay1Ax2Fy2A.mat')
%For the Neural Network model:
BDataARtraining=[x1A y1A];%create a 3rd order data set by staggering observations
BDataARpredictor=[x2F]; %hold out to test forcast
dim=size(BDataARtraining,2); %number of variables of multivariate
model = newfit(BDataARtraining(1:end,1:dim-1)',BDataARtraining(1:end,dim)',100);%create a Feedforward Neural Network with 3 inputs, 1 output and 100 hidden neurons
view(model)
model2=prune(model);
view(model2)
Please could you explain why model2 still has 100 hidden nodes after pruning (see view(model2) ) as I was expecting some to have been removed by pruning? I have tried starting with different numbers of hidden neurons and also get the same number after pruning as what I started with.

Search NEWSREADER and ANSWERS using
Ntrials Hmin Hmax
for an easier approach to find the smallest successful number of hidden nodes in the range [Hmin Hmax] using Ntrials sets of random initial weights.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for formally accepting my answer

1. Solutions of equations having more unknowns than the number of equations are obviously unstable.
2. A net with one hidden layer is a universal approximator.
3. Reasons for using more than 1 hidden layer
a. Reduce the total number of weights
b. Additional information about the structure
of the transformation is known (e.g., existence of
classification subclasses).
In order to optimize both number of layers and number of nodes you have to have another constraint.
What is yours?
Hope this helps.
