Adolescent developmental change in topography of EEG amplitude
1992
EEGs were recorded from 32 channels in 30 normal males, ages 16–22. Delta activity decreased throughout this age range. This decrease was greatest in the left frontal and temporal regions; no occipital lead showed this pattern. Relative EEG amplitude analysis, based on normalized maps, revealed decreases with age across alpha, delta, and theta bands with beta staying the same or increasing. These changes were greatest in the left temporal and left frontal regions. Taken together, these findings suggest that these cortical areas are maturing in the second decade of life. Both delta and theta showed significantly greater decreases with age in the left parietal region than in the right.
