Time-Frequency Bands of Electromagnetic Wave from ERPCOH on Developmental Changes

Abstract:

Recent changes in ongoing background activity are one of the most popular approaches to investigate brain activity for understanding child development. However, research using event-related responses of cortico-cortical connections to explore changes during childhood is rare. This study investigates mature changes in brain connectivity in associative reorganization patterns and hypothesizes that age-related changes affect oscillatory connections. The sample included children aged 7 years, 11 years, and adults. The 3 groups were studied in the time-frequency domain to analyze event-related cross phase coherence (ERPCOH) between different parts of the brain as they performed an auditory oddball task. Compared to the adult participants, the 11-year-old participants were found to have increased connectivity in theta (4-7 Hz), beta-2 (20-30 Hz), and gamma bands (30-50 Hz) in the early component (N1, 80-140 ms), although ERPCOH value decreased in the alpha-1 (7-10 Hz) and alpha-2 bands (10-13 Hz). Compared to the 11-year-old participants, 7-year-old participants had greater connectivity decreases in all frequency bands, most significantly in theta, beta-2, and gamma bands.
