Time-constrained functional connectivity analysis of cortical networks underlying phonological decoding in typically developing school-aged children: A magnetoencephalography study

► The study includes a large sample of elementary and middle school typical readers. ► MEG explores relative timing of neurophysiological activity during decoding. ► Activity progressed from visual association to temporoparietal to inferior frontal cortex. ► Functional associations between cortical regions were assessed in real-time. ► Result indicated bottom-up effects during the first 500 ms of pseudoword reading.
