The developmental trajectory of sensorimotor cortical oscillations.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies of motor control have confirmed beta and gamma oscillations in the primary motor cortices during basic movements. These responses include a robust beta decrease that precedes and extends through movement onset, a transient gamma response that coincides with the movement, and a post-movement beta rebound (PMBR) response that occurs after movement offset. While the existence of these responses has been confirmed by many studies, very few studies have examined their developmental trajectory. In the current study, we utilized magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate age-related changes in sensorimotor cortical oscillations in a large cross-section of children and adolescents (n = 94; age range = 9 -15 years-old). All participants performed a stimulus detection task with the
