Functional connectivity strength and nodal flexibility, derived from static and dynamic frameworks respectively, were utilized. We found similar quadratic effects of age on reactive and spontaneous flexibility, which were mediated by the functional connectivity strength and nodal flexibility of the frontoparietal network. Divergence was observed, with the nodal flexibility of the ventral attention network at the baseline visit uniquely predicting the increase in reactive flexibility 24–30 months later, while the nodal flexibility or functional connectivity strength of the dorsal attention network could specifically predict the increase in spontaneous flexibility. Sex differences were found in tasks measuring reactive and spontaneous flexibility simultaneously, which were moderated by the nodal flexibility of the dorsal attention network.

Neurophysiological results indicated that adolescents with fine-grained instructions exhibited neural decoding performance more similar to adults. Increased activity in the inferior frontal gyrus in these adolescents compared to adults related to this.

This review summarizes studies from diverse MRI modalities that link early cerebellar development from birth to age two with emerging non-motor behaviors and psychiatric symptomatology. Our focus centered on both term and preterm infants, excluding studies of perinatal injury and cerebellar pathology. We conclude that the cerebellum is implicated in many non-motor behaviors and implicit learning mechanisms in infancy. The field’s current limitations include inconsistencies in study design, a paucity of gold-standard infant neuroimaging tools, and treatment of the cerebellum as a uniform structure. Moving forward, the cerebellum should be considered a structure of greater interest to the developmental neuroimaging community. Studies should test developmental hypotheses about the behavioral roles of specific cerebro-cerebellar circuits, and theoretical frameworks such as Olson’s “model switch” hypothesis of cerebellar learning.
