“…In fact, previous work has found alpha, beta, and gamma each to be important in mediating perception and attention, particularly in the parietal cortex ( Misselhorn et al, 2019 , Zaretskaya and Bartels, 2015 ). Specifically, during this developmental period, increases in theta activity have been reported during abstract reasoning ( Taylor et al, 2020 ) and selective attention performance ( Taylor et al, 2021 ), age-related changes in visual gamma activity have been seen during basic visual processing ( Fung et al, 2021 ), alterations in alpha activity have been reported during verbal working memory processing ( Embury et al, 2019 , Killanin et al, 2022 ), and beta and gamma oscillations have been found to change in relation to a developing sensorimotor system ( Heinrichs-Graham et al, 2018 , Trevarrow et al, 2019 , Wilson et al, 2010 ). In the current study, beta and gamma activity increased with increasing DHEA in posterior parietal and occipital regions of the brain, which are in line with roles in attention and early sensory processing.…”
