Developmental changes in brain activation and functional connectivity during Chinese handwriting by Huan Ren, Junjun Li, Zhenglong Lin, Yanzhi Xu, Hong-Yan Bi, Min Xu, Yang Yang

“…We found that, compared to adults, children exhibited lower activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus, left inferior parietal lobule, left precentral gyrus, and right posterior occipital cortex, possibly reflecting variations in functional specialization of handwriting-related circuits. In contrast, network analysis showed that children had greater global and local efficiency of the whole-brain networks than adults, particularly in the default mode network and visual network, possibly reflecting a large-scale reconfiguration of brain networks during handwriting automatization. …”
