Inflammation-related aberrations in beta and gamma oscillatory dynamics serving attention processing in typically developing youth.

ABSTRACT: Attention is a critical cognitive ability that impacts everyday functioning and is subserved by multispectral neural oscillatory dynamics spanning extended frontoparietal brain networks. Throughout childhood and adolescence, attention networks are highly plastic as they undergo rapid and dynamic maturation. Concurrently, this period is marked by heightened vulnerability to the consequences of low-grade inflammation, which is known to impact attention networks in adults but has been seldom explored in youth. The current cross-sectional study sought to characterize the links between low-grade inflammation and neural dynamics serving attention processing in childhood and adolescence. A total of 100 youth ages 8-15 years (M = 12.21 years, SD = 2.27; 50 males, 50 females) complete
