  "summary": "Theta oscillations are pivotal for attention and memory, with developmental shifts in theta activity and connectivity tracking memory ability across the lifespan. Building on initial evidence that the theta band separates into slow and fast sub-bands across development within the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and the prefrontal cortex (PFC), this preregistered study (https://osf.io/gsru7)…",
