Abstract Study Objectives: To use time-frequency analysis to characterize developmental
changes in the human sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) across early adolescence …

Compared to our understanding of the functional maturation of brain networks underlying
complex cognitive abilities, hardly anything is known of the neurofunctional development of …

Developmental functional imaging studies of cognitive control show progressive age-related
increase in task-relevant fronto-striatal activation in male development from childhood to …

We investigated gender differences in motor performance in 9-, 12-, and 17-year-olds. The
tasks included simple thumb tapping (sTT), handwriting (HW) and finger-to-thumb opposition …
