Background:

Interval timing, the brain's ability to measure durations from seconds to minutes, remains poorly understood.
Neuroimaging is beginning to reveal mechanisms for perceiving and producing time intervals across different stimulus types.

Discussion:

This review examines the impact of neuroimaging on understanding time perception.
It highlights the need to differentiate timing mechanisms for sub- and supra-second intervals.
The role of cortico-striatal circuits in interval timing is a key focus.

Key Insights:

Neuroimaging studies are crucial for advancing the science of interval timing.
Distinguishing timing mechanisms for different interval durations and modalities is essential.

Related Experiment Videos

Cortico-striatal circuits are implicated in time perception and production.

Outlook:

Further research is needed to develop a physiologically realistic theory of interval timing.
Integrating findings across different stimulus modalities and time scales is a major challenge.
Establishing a comprehensive model of interval timing involving cortico-striatal networks is the ultimate goal.
