    Movement-related brain macropotentials (MRBMs) mature differently in children. Early potentials appear around age 10, while later potentials emerge by age 11, indicating distinct neural system development.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Motor Control

    Background:

    • Movement-related brain macropotentials (MRBMs) are crucial for understanding motor control development.
    • Previous research has explored MRBMs in adults, but developmental trajectories in children are less understood.
    • Self-paced bimanual skilled performance provides a complex motor task to investigate neural maturation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the developmental changes in MRBMs during a self-paced bimanual skilled performance task in children.
    • To determine the age at which specific MRBM components, like the Bereitschaftspotential and Skilled Performance Positivity (SPP), emerge.
    • To correlate the maturation of MRBMs with performance improvements and age.

    Main Methods:

    • Recorded MRBMs from Fpz, Cz, and pre-central locations in 30 children aged 8-13 years.

  • Simultaneously recorded electromyograms (EMGs) from forearm flexor muscles.
  • Utilized a self-paced bimanual skilled performance task.

    • Main Results:

    • A consistent Bereitschaftspotential emerged in children aged 10 years and older.
    • The Skilled Performance Positivity (SPP) appeared in children aged 11 years and older.
    • Motor cortex potential (MCP) and P200 amplitudes increased with performance improvement, and their latencies decreased with age.
    • ANOVA revealed significant age effects on performance, EMG rise time, and MRBMs.

    Conclusions:

    • Neuronal systems underlying different MRBMs mature at varying rates during childhood.
    • The emergence and maturation of specific brain potentials are linked to motor skill development and age.
    • Findings highlight distinct developmental timelines for different components of the motor control system.
