Infant-directed singing has unique acoustic characteristics that may allow even very young infants to respond to the rhythms carried through the caregiver’s voice. The goal of this study was to examine neural and movement responses to live and dynamic maternal singing in 7-month-old infants and their relation to linguistic development. In total, 60 mother-infant dyads were observed during two singing

Component-specific developmental trajectories of ERP indices of cognitive control in early childhood Dev. Cogn. Neurosci. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-23 Amanda Peters, Selin Zeytinoglu, Esther M. Leerkes, Elif Isbell
Early childhood is characterized by robust developmental changes in cognitive control. However, our understanding of intra-individual change in neural indices of cognitive control during this period remains limited. Here, we examined developmental changes in event-related potential (ERP) indices of cognitive control from preschool through first grade, in a large and diverse sample of children (N = 257)

Age-related, multivariate associations between white matter microstructure and behavioral performance in three executive function domains Dev. Cogn. Neurosci. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-21 Jacey Anderson, Vince D. Calhoun, Godfrey D. Pearlson, Keith A. Hawkins, Michael C. Stevens
The executive function (EF) domains of working memory (WM), response inhibition (RI), and set shifting (SS) show maturational gains and are linked to neuroimaging-measured brain changes. This study explored ways in which maturation-linked differences in EF abilities are systematically associated with white matter microstructural differences from adolescence into young adulthood. Diffusion tensor imaging

Neighborhood poverty during childhood prospectively predicts adolescent functional brain network architecture Dev. Cogn. Neurosci. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-14 Cleanthis Michael, Scott Tillem, Chandra S. Sripada, S. Alexandra Burt, Kelly L. Klump, Luke W. Hyde
Family poverty has been associated with altered brain structure, function, and connectivity in youth. However, few studies have examined how disadvantage within the broader neighborhood may influence functional brain network organization. The present study leveraged a longitudinal community sample of 538 twins living in low-income neighborhoods to evaluate the prospective association between exposure

Combined multi-session transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and language skills training improves individual gamma band activity and literacy skills in developmental dyslexia Dev. Cogn. Neurosci. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-18 Katharina S. Rufener, Tino Zaehle, Kerstin Krauel
Developmental dyslexia is characterized by the pathologically diminished ability to acquire reading and spelling skills. Accurate processing of acoustic information at the phonemic scale is crucial for successful sound-to-letter-mapping which, in turn, is elemental in reading and spelling. Altered activation patterns in the auditory cortex are thought to provide the neurophysiological basis for the

Rhythmic visual stimulation as a window into early brain development: A systematic review Dev. Cogn. Neurosci. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-16 Moritz Köster, Alicja Brzozowska, Anna Bánki, Markus Tünte, Emma Kate Ward, Stefanie Hoehl
Rhythmic visual stimulation (RVS), the periodic presentation of visual stimuli to elicit a rhythmic brain response, is increasingly applied to reveal insights into early neurocognitive development. Our systematic review identified 69 studies applying RVS in 0- to 6-year-olds. RVS has long been used to study the development of the visual system and applications have more recently been expanded to uncover

Structural and functional connectome relationships in early childhood Dev. Cogn. Neurosci. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-14 Yoonmi Hong, Emil Cornea, Jessica B. Girault, Maria Bagonis, Mark Foster, Sun Hyung Kim, Juan Carlos Prieto, Haitao Chen, Wei Gao, Martin A. Styner, John H. Gilmore
There is strong evidence that the functional connectome is highly related to the white matter connectome in older children and adults, though little is known about structure-function relationships in early childhood. We investigated the development of cortical structure-function coupling in children longitudinally scanned at 1, 2, 4, and 6 years of age (N = 360) and in a comparison sample of adults

Neurophysiological mechanisms of cognition in the developing brain: Insights from intracranial EEG studies Dev. Cogn. Neurosci. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-10 Qin Yin, Elizabeth L. Johnson, Noa Ofen
The quest to understand how the development of the brain supports the development of complex cognitive functions is fueled by advances in cognitive neuroscience methods. Intracranial EEG (iEEG) recorded directly from the developing human brain provides unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution for mapping the neurophysiological mechanisms supporting cognitive development. In this paper, we focus
