Causal network interactions predict behavior differently in children and adults.

Relationship between cumulative directed causal influences between nodes of the salience and central executive networks and behavior assessed using a multivariate GLMnet model. rAI = right Anterior Insula, ACC = Anterior Cingular Cortex, rVLPFC = right Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex, rDLPFC = right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex, rPPC = right Posterior Parietal Cortex. Analysis of GLMnet model fits revealed that causal network interactions better predicted reaction times and accuracy in adults than in children.Note: Connections ordered in decreasing order of importance.
