Cortical oscillations that underlie visual selective attention are abnormal in adolescents with cerebral palsy

Abstract Adolescence is a critical period for the development and refinement of several higher-level cognitive functions, including visual selective attention. Clinically, it has been noted that adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) may have deficits in selectively attending to objects within their v...
