Summary

The error-related negativity (ERN) in children is linked to distinct brain activity patterns (EEG microstates) during error processing and rest. Higher ERN magnitude correlates with increased anxiety risk and specific microstate variations.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

  • The error-related negativity (ERN) is a key electroencephalography (EEG) marker of error processing.
  • The link between ERN and broader brain activity patterns (EEG microstates) in early childhood is not well understood.
  • Understanding these relationships is crucial for insights into developing neural networks supporting cognitive functions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between the ERN and EEG microstates during error processing and resting-state in young children.
  • To explore how individual differences in ERN and microstate activity relate to anxiety risk.
  • To identify the neural generators of error-related and resting-state microstates and their overlap with known brain networks.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized EEG data from 90 children aged 4-8 years during a go/no-go task and resting-state.
  • Applied data-driven microstate segmentation to analyze error-related activity and quantify ERN amplitude.
  • Measured anxiety risk using parent-reported behavioral inhibition and analyzed global explained variance (GEV) of microstates.

Main Results:

  • A greater ERN magnitude was associated with higher global explained variance (GEV) of an error-related microstate (microstate 3) and increased anxiety risk.
  • Both higher ERN magnitude and error-related microstate 3 GEV correlated with higher GEV of a resting-state microstate (microstate 4) with frontal-central topography.
  • Source localization revealed overlapping neural generators for error-related microstate 3 and resting-state microstate 4 with networks involved in error processing, such as the ventral attention network.

Conclusions:

  • Individual differences in error processing (ERN) and intrinsic brain activity (microstates) are interconnected in early childhood.
  • These findings enhance understanding of the developing brain network organization supporting error processing.
  • The study highlights the relationship between neural activity, cognitive function, and behavioral inhibition in young children.
