AB  - We sought to determine if attentional distraction in adolescents can modulate 
      event-related desynchronization or synchronization (ERD or ERS) of the theta band 
      during emotion regulation. Event-related theta oscillations were collected from 
      48 adolescents and young adults as they performed a distraction (counting) task 
      while viewing affective pictures. Consistent with data from adult participants, 
      positive and negative pictures elicited a larger theta ERS than did neutral 
      pictures within a 100-400 ms window, indicating that early theta ERS is 
      indicative of motivated attention to biologically salient stimuli. Counting as a 
      distraction strategy attenuated early affective modulation of theta ERS. 
      Moreover, theta ERS increased with age in the anterior regions of the brain 
      regardless of valence; however, no age differences were found in the posterior 
      regions. These results suggest that distraction depends on a top-down attentional 
      mechanism that disrupts theta ERS for affective pictures at an early stage. 
      Furthermore, adolescents undergo a developmental increase in oscillatory brain 
      reorganization.
