Age-related neural dynamics of empathy in preschoolers: an EEG study with naturalistic viewing (2026, unknown): “This distinction is important because applying a lower, infant-like alpha range to preschool children may overlap with functional theta activity, potentially increasing theta-alpha misclassification (Orekhova et al. 2006).”
Maturational changes in frontal EEG alpha and theta activity from infancy into early childhood and the relation with self-regulation in boys and girls (2024, methodology): “Similar to the alpha rhythm, the peak frequency of the theta rhythm increases with age, reaching about 6 Hz in preschool children (Orekhova et al., 2006).”
Developmental trajectories of EEG aperiodic and periodic components in children 2–44 months of age (2024, unknown): “A shift in dominant oscillatory frequency in the theta/alpha range (4 – 12 Hz) across early childhood has been observed now in many studies 28,32,64 .”
Theta activity and cognitive functioning: Integrating evidence from resting-state and task-related developmental electroencephalography (EEG) research (2024, background): “…in attentional state (e.g., Begus et al., 2016; Morales et al., 2023), error detection (Berger et al., 2006; Conejero et al., 2018; K ¨ oster et al., 2021; Schneider and Maguire, 2019), and cognitive/emotional demands (Meyer et al., 2019; Orekhova et al., 2006) can lead to changes in theta power.”
Associations between EEG power and coherence with cognition and early precursors of speech and language development across the first months of life (2024, background): “Infants also show an increase from a baseline condition in theta power during events associated with learning or working memory [13].”
Neural correlates involved in perspective-taking in early childhood (2024, methodology): “EEG characteristics, like theta and alpha peak frequency, undergo drastic changes in early childhood (Cellier et al., 2021; Marshall et al., 2002; Orekhova et al., 2006; Thorpe et al., 2016) and categorization of frequencies into bands is likely dependent on the underlying functional processes and…”
Wake EEG oscillation dynamics reflect both sleep pressure and brain maturation across childhood and adolescence (2024, unknown): “This dissociation has been observed in spectral frequency, usually by contrasting conditions, but with minimal spatial resolution (Meyer et al., 2019; Orekhova et al., 2006), or without providing topographies for these age groups (Cellier et al., 2021).”
Associations between EEG power and coherence and cognitive and language development across the first months of life (2023, background): “Infants also show an increase from a baseline condition in theta power during events associated with learning or working memory (Orekhova et al., 2006).”
Developmental trajectories of EEG aperiodic and periodic power: Implications for understanding the timing of thalamocortical development during infancy (2023, unknown): “The dynamic circuit motif model (DCM) proposes that cortical network rhythms result from a combination of the intrinsic resonant frequency of a neuronal population and the time course properties of the inhibitory inputs on the neuronal population 64 .”
Early development of electrophysiological activity: contribution of periodic and aperiodic components of the EEG signal (2022, background): “The developmental trajectories in relative power were similar to previous experiments with infants: reduction in theta relative power and increment of alpha relative power (Marshall et al., 2002; Stroganova et al., 1999; Orekhova et al., 2006).”
