• Frequency-specific maturation of cortical organization and social-cognitive links from childhood to adolescence (2025, unknown): “For example, steeper age-related increases in task-evoked frontoparietal theta power predict higher working memory and fluid intelligence scores (Tan et al., 2024), and reading skill relates to connectivity between networks (Lex et al., 2025).”
• Altered network connectivity and global efficiency in tourette syndrome: insights into sensorimotor integration (2025, unknown): “( A) rPLC matrices of CO (right) and TS (left) subjects averaged across time windows of S1 processing, and (B) of S2 processing (respectively 0 to 500 ms after stimulus presentation).”
• Lifespan Trajectories of Alpha Rhythm: Dynamic Shifts in Neural Excitation-Inhibition Balance (2025, unknown): “As individuals reach adolescence 139,140 , alpha rhythms become more prominent and are associated with improved attentional control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory.”
• NEUROPSYCHOPEDAGOGICAL INTERVENTION WITH THE RUBIK’S CUBE: IMPACT ON EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS AND CORTICAL ACTIVITY IN EARLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN (2025, unknown): “Thus, the observed modulation of the Theta/Alpha ratio may reflect a functional reconfiguration that fosters a more adaptive and efficient brain state, enabling faster and more precise cognitive processing (Frelih et al. , 2024; Wei et al. , 2024; Tan et al. , 2024).”
• Macroscopic EEG reveals discriminative low-frequency oscillations in plan-to-grasp visuomotor tasks (2025, unknown): “…methods provide high spatial and temporal resolution within localized brain regions [17], they are limited in capturing the macroscopic emergence of plan-to-grasp related neural activity that electroencephalography (EEG) provides through its complete electrode coverage across all brain regions.”
