MEG Evidence of Concurrent Bilateral and Hemisphere‐Specific Developmental Patterns in Auditory Cortex

Children demonstrate remarkably different temporal characteristics, as well as higher interindividual variability, in the cortical auditory responses as compared with adults. The detailed dynamics at the level of underlying current generators are, however, not established. We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to explore the age-related differences in the cortical currents probed by simple auditory stimuli across age groups in children between 6 and 13.5 years and adults, with a specific focus on
