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.

The biology of time across different scales

TL;DR: Animals time events on scales that span from microseconds to days, in contrast to the technologies devised by humans to keep track of time, have developed vastly different mechanisms for timing across these different scales.

Time reproduction in children with ADHD and their nonaffected siblings.

TL;DR: Time reproduction may serve as a candidate endophenotype for ADHD, predominantly in younger children with (a genetic risk for) ADHD.

Impaired reproduction of second but not millisecond time intervals in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: The data seem to indicate that time processing in PD patients for time intervals spanning up to 2s is unimpaired and that abnormalities in such temporal scale may emerge only when patients have to deal with different durations, when timing involves further cognitive processes such as memory and attention.

Intentional and unintentional contributions to nonspecific preparation: electrophysiological evidence.

TL;DR: The view that the preceding S-sub-1-S- sub-2 interval contributes unintentionally to the state of nonspecific preparation guided by a process of trace conditioning is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebellar activation during discrete and not continuous timed movements: an fMRI study.

TL;DR: The results of fMRI examination of cerebellar activity during discrete and continuous rhythmic movements are consistent with the hypothesis that subregions of the cerebellum are selectively engaged during tasks involving event timing.

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.
