Developmental variations in recurrent spatiotemporal brain propagations from childhood to adulthood.

ABSTRACT: The brain undergoes profound structural and functional development from childhood to adolescence. Convergent evidence suggests that neurodevelopment proceeds in a hierarchical manner, characterized by heterogeneous maturation patterns across brain regions and networks. However, the maturation of the intrinsic spatiotemporal propagations of brain activity remains largely unexplored. This study aims to bridge this gap by delineating spatiotemporal propagations from childhood to early adulthood. By leveraging a recently developed approach that captures time-lag dynamic propagations, we characterized intrinsic dynamic propagations along three axes: sensory-association (S-A), 'task-positive' to default networks (TP-D), and somatomotor-visual (SM-V) networks, which progress towards adult-like br
