This study used dynamic functional mapping with magnetoencephalography to examine how healthy youth process male and female emotional faces. Findings revealed significant face gender × emotion × age interactions at both behavioral and neural levels. Neural responses correlated with social skills and personal adjustment, offering insights into developmental social cognition.
