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.

Learning about Time: Plastic Changes and Interindividual Brain Differences

TL;DR: It is found that the representation of a trained visual temporal interval was associated with functional and structural changes in a sensory-motor network including occipital, parietal, and insular cortices, plus the cerebellum, and that activity and gray-matter volume of sensorimotor cortices predicted individual learning abilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Context of Temporal Processing Is Represented in the Multidimensional Relationships between Timing Tasks

TL;DR: Using this methodology, a probable functional arrangement of neural systems engaged during different timing behaviors is revealed, which shows a prominent segregation of explicit and implicit timing tasks, and a clear grouping between single and multiple interval paradigms.

Temporal preparation in aging: a functional mri study

TL;DR: Findings unveil the neural substrate of age-related preparation deficits, and confirm that the involvement of right lateral prefrontal cortex is essential for strategic preparation under uncertain timing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

No evidence for qualitative differences in the processing of short and long temporal intervals

TL;DR: The overall pattern of results argues against two qualitatively distinct timing mechanisms, but is consistent with attention-based cognitive models of human timing.

Timing Deficits in Aging and Neuropathology

TL;DR: It is argued that timing deficits consistently occur with aging and in specific neurodegenerative disorders, and might depend on and reflect attentional deficits that are also characteristic of normal Aging and in these clinical populations.

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.
