The inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) was identified as a beta\u2010band\u2010specific hub via phase synchrony. Temporal analyses revealed that MTG exhibited stable and widespread connectivity differences across all encoding phases, suggesting a role in pre\u2010encoding network priming. In contrast, IFG displayed a transient decrease in connectivity and spatial extent during early encoding, indicating a more focal and dynamic contribution.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Significance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings suggest that successful memory encoding relies on widespread, frequency\u2010specific connectivity patterns centered on MTG, complemented by transient, localized IFG activity.
