The intrahemispheric functional properties of the developing sensorimotor cortex are influenced by maturation.

To support the interpretation of these results, we used graph theoretical concepts to examine the changes occurring in the functional organization of the sensorimotor network across ages, and found that all segregation and integration measures showed a trend similar to SL MEAN : during the first year of life these properties remained almost unchanged, whereas they increased significantly across groups afterwards, as assessed by a marked increase of both segregation parameters ( C and E loc ), by a tendency of L to decrease, and by a clear increase of E glob across age groups.
