The hippocampus and cortical memory networks have an inflection point in middle childhood

Connections within a network that supports semantic memory matures early, but connectivity between this network and hippocampus does not mature until at least 7-years of age, identifies 7-years as a developmental inflection point in both hippocampal signaling and hippocampal-cortical memory interactions that may support multiple memory systems.
