The authors' main claim These results suggest that the spectral maturation of macroscopic neural activity observed during typical development is supported by age-dependent functional adaptations in localized neural dynamics and their long-range coupling across the macroscopic structural network.

The spectral content of macroscopic neural activity evolves throughout development, yet how this maturation relates to underlying brain network formation and dynamics remains unknown. Here, we assess the developmental maturation of electroencephalogram spectra via Bayesian model inversion of the spectral graph model, a parsimonious whole-brain model of spatiospectral neural activity derived from linearized neural field models coupled by the structural connectome. Simulation-based inference was used to estimate age-varying spectral graph model parameter posterior distributions from electroencephalogram spectra spanning the developmental period. This model-fitting approach accurately captures observed developmental electroencephalogram spectral maturation via a neurobiologically consistent progression of key neural parameters: long-range coupling, axonal conduction speed, and excitatory:inhibitory balance. These results suggest that the spectral maturation of macroscopic neural activity observed during typical development is supported by age-dependent functional adaptations in localized neural dynamics and their long-range coupling across the macroscopic structural network.

Original abstract
The spectral content of macroscopic neural activity evolves throughout development, yet how this maturation relates to underlying brain network formation and dynamics remains unknown. Here, we assess the developmental maturation of electroencephalogram spectra via Bayesian model inversion of the spectral graph model, a parsimonious whole-brain model of spatiospectral neural activity derived from linearized neural field models coupled by the structural connectome. Simulation-based inference was used to estimate age-varying spectral graph model parameter posterior distributions from electroencephalogram spectra spanning the developmental period. This model-fitting approach accurately captures observed developmental electroencephalogram spectral maturation via a neurobiologically consistent progression of key neural parameters: long-range coupling, axonal conduction speed, and excitatory:inhibitory balance. These results suggest that the spectral maturation of macroscopic neural activity observed during typical development is supported by age-dependent functional adaptations in localized neural dynamics and their long-range coupling across the macroscopic structural network.

To understand the SGM parameter space and evaluate the ability of the SGM to capture developmental EEG spectral shifts we utilized UMAP (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection) for dimension reduction of spectra and visualization of SGM simulated spectra and observed EEG spectra, using hyperparameters number of neighbors of 60 and minimum distance of 0.1 [ref] .
