TLDR
It is argued that careful analysis of this literature provides evidence for separate neural timing systems associated with opposing task characteristics, the 'automatic' system draws mainly upon motor circuits and the 'cognitively controlled' system depends upon prefrontal and parietal regions.

Mediodorsal thalamus contributes to the timing of instrumental actions

TL;DR: It is shown that inactivation of the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus significantly impaired timing behavior, suggesting that the MD is a critical component of the neural circuit for interval timing, without playing a direct role in regulating ongoing performance.

Therapeutic benefits of music-based synchronous finger tapping in Parkinson’s disease—an fNIRS study protocol for randomized controlled trial in Dalian, China

TL;DR: The study’s findings are used to inform larger clinical studies for optimization and further exploration of the therapeutic effects of movement-based music therapy on neural activity in neurological diseases.

A Mechanism of Synaptic Clock Underlying Subjective Time Perception

TL;DR: It is shown that light can be considered to have a dual role of a source of information, which guides motor actions, and an environmental feedback for those actions, which shows how temporal perception might depend on feedback-based behavioral adaptations realized in the nervous system through activity-dependent synaptic plasticity.

Dynamique des activités évoquées corticales de la phase décisionnelle de la discrimination temporelle : approche comportementale et électrophysiologique

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define a set of operations cognitives, en dehors de l’horloge interne, who sont impliquees dans le fait que nous soyons capables de dire qu’une duree est plus courte qu‘une autre? Quelle est the dynamique of ces processus?

Empirical Support for 'Hastening-Through-Re-Automatization' by Contrasting Two Motor-Cognitive Dual Tasks.

TL;DR: Expectations derived from the explanatory concept, an increased movement frequency under dual-task conditions only for the fast rhythmic movement (paddleball task) but not for the slower discrete repetitive task (pegboard task).

Language within our grasp

TL;DR: It is proposed here that an observation/execution matching system provides a necessary bridge from'doing' to'communicating', as the link between actor and observer becomes a link between the sender and the receiver of each message.

Timing functions of the cerebellum

TL;DR: The results suggest that the domain of the cerebellar timing process is not limited to the motor system, but is employed by other perceptual and cognitive systems when temporally predictive computations are needed.

Where and when to pay attention: the neural systems for directing attention to spatial locations and to time intervals as revealed by both PET and fMRI.

TL;DR: Brain-imaging data revealed a partial overlap between neural systems involved in the performance of spatial versus temporal orientation of attention tasks, and hemispheric asymmetries revealed preferential right and left parietal activation for spatial and temporal attention, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of brain activation during temporal processing.

TL;DR: A dynamic network of cortical-subcortical activation associated with different components of temporal information processing is illustrated, implicating these systems in attention and temporary maintenance of intervals.
