Kadis Characterizing Information Flux Within the Distributed Pediatric Expressive Language Network: A Core Region Mapped Through fMRI-Constrained MEG Effective Connectivity Analyses 2016 8 .pdf application/pdf 5943 458 50 two groups of children, ages 5–18 years, performing verb generation in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) Across frequencies, we observed significant effective connectivity among proximal left frontal nodes. low frequency bands, information flux was rostrally directed within a focal, left frontal region, approximating Broca's Key words: Broca's area; causal network; children; functional magnetic resonance imaging; linearly constrained healthy young children have bilateral and diffuse language networks, which become increasingly left lateralized and focal with development (Brown et al., 2005; study is on integration of data from the two imaging modalities and the novel application of effective connectivity analyses for mapping a core functional network. identified brain regions showing significantly increased activation for verb generation, using a family-wise error correction of p < 0.01 and clustering threshold of k = 8 voxels. Group analyses of the fMRI data revealed consistent activation across individuals in bilateral frontal (including insular cortex) and posterior temporal regions, and the left ./cache/work_k5irpuwxmrejppzgofqpx24ehe.pdf ./txt/work_k5irpuwxmrejppzgofqpx24ehe.txt
