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.

Time perception in children: A neurodevelopmental approach

TL;DR: This review discusses behavioral studies on time perception in healthy children that suggest the existence of a primitive "sense" of time in infants as well as research that has revealed the changes in time judgments that occur throughout childhood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Body signals, cardiac awareness, and the perception of time

TL;DR: The view that autonomic function and interoceptive awareness underpin the perception of time intervals in the range of seconds is supported.

Representation of interval timing by temporally scalable firing patterns in rat prefrontal cortex

TL;DR: In rats trained to estimate time intervals, it is found that many neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) exhibited sustained spiking activity with diverse temporal profiles of firing-rate modulation during the time-estimation period, and this may reflect a general mechanism for neural representation of interval timing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different brain circuits underlie motor and perceptual representations of temporal intervals

TL;DR: The findings point to a role for the parietal cortex as an interface between sensory and motor processes and suggest that it may be a key node in translation of temporal information into action, and discuss the potential importance of the extrastriate cortex in processing visual time in the context of recent findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

The “What” and “When” of Self-Initiated Movements

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to identify differing and overlapping neural networks underlying the "what" and "when" of intentional movement initiation, and to highlight the importance of activity in the anterior midcingulate cortex.

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.
