The Interaction between Sleep and Development on Wake EEG Oscillations (2026, unknown): “Our results on offsets and exponents replicate previous ﬁ ndings: They decrease linearly with age (Cellier et al., 2021; Hill et al., 2022; Tröndle et al., 2022) and originate from broad, primarily midline sources (Favaro et al., 2023).”
Aperiodic parameters of the fMRI power spectrum associate with preterm birth and neonatal age (2026, unknown): “The parameters change as a function of age, with the exponent decreasing in infants 28 , and both exponent and offset decreasing during the early-childhood 29,30 and early-adulthood 31 .”
Resting state aperiodic and periodic EEG activity in preschool-aged autistic children: differences from neurotypical peers and links to language skills (2026, unknown): “No other differences in aperiodic total power, aperiodic gamma power, periodic total power, or periodic power in any other canonical frequency band were observed (see supplementary materials).”
Developmental relationships between the human alpha rhythm and intrinsic neural timescales are dependent on neural hierarchy (2025, unknown): “…literature describing spectral slope decreases with development has emerged in scalp EEG studies ( e.g. , Caffarra et al. 2024; Cellier et al. 2021; Tröndle et al. 2022), but further studies that can reliably pinpoint regional developmental differences of both periodic and aperiodic activity are…”
The development of aperiodic and periodic resting-state power between early childhood and adulthood: New insights from optically pumped magnetometers (2024, methodology): “…changes in E/I balance, specifically a shift towards excitation with increased age, consistent with the existing developmental EEG work (Cellier et al., 2021; Favaro et al., 2023; A. T. Hill et al., 2022a; McSweeney et al., 2021, 2023; Schaworonkow and Voytek, 2021; Tr ¨ ondle et al., 2022).”
Aging amplifies sex differences in low alpha and low beta EEG oscillations (2024, unknown): “From an age perspective, some previous EEG studies have focused on children or adolescents (Freschl et al., 2022; Tr ¨ ondle et al., 2022; Cellier et al., 2021; Hill et al., 2022; Candelaria-Cook et al., 2022), which are not the target population of our research.”
Developmental trajectories of EEG aperiodic and periodic components in children 2–44 months of age (2024, unknown): “This dominant peak frequency continues to increase into the mature 10 Hz posterior alpha rhythm by adolescence 9,32 .”
Age-Related Characteristics of Resting-State Electroencephalographic Signals and the Corresponding Analytic Approaches: A Review (2024, methodology): “Several developmental EEG studies, focusing on individuals under the age of 25 years, reported a relationship between alpha peak frequency and increasing age [57,78,83].”
