[Movement-related brain potentials in 6- to 7-year-old children].

Spatial distribution and component structure of movement-related brain potentials (MRBP) were studied in 6-7-years-old children. The structure of Bereitschaftspotentials was found to be complex and heterogeneous the latency of P200 component being shorter than that in adults. MRBP recorded contained specific for children late negative wave that had been called postaction negativity, or PAN. The amplitudes of almost all MRBP components in children under study was the highest in the frontal areas. The results obtained may reflect neurophysiological changes associated with motor development.
