Implicit Memories01:24

Implicit Memories

Implicit memories, also known as non-declarative memories, are long-term memories that function outside of conscious awareness. These memories influence behavior and skills without explicit knowledge. This type of memory is evident in tasks like playing tennis, snowboarding, and texting. Implicit memory has three subsystems: procedural memory, conditioning, and priming. This type of memory is essential in various activities, from everyday tasks to specialized skills.
One key aspect of implicit...
Timing and Consequences on Behavior01:08

Timing and Consequences on Behavior

In operant conditioning, the timing of reinforcement is crucial. For animals like rats and cats, immediate reinforcement (within a few seconds) is much more effective than delayed reinforcement. For example, a food reward for a rat needs to follow within 30 seconds of pressing a bar to be effective. 
Humans, however, can respond to delayed reinforcers. We often make decisions between immediate small rewards and delayed larger rewards. This ability to delay gratification is a significant factor...
Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation02:19

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent years,...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Temporal processing is vital for cognitive and motor skills.
  • Understanding its neural basis requires comparing diverse temporal tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify common neural substrates for temporal processing.
  • To compare duration discrimination across sensory modalities (vision, audition) and interval types (empty, filled).

Main Methods:

  • Event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
  • Duration discrimination tasks involving auditory and visual stimuli with empty and filled intervals.

Main Results:

  • The supplementary motor area (SMA) showed activation.
  • The basal ganglia were also identified as activated regions.
  • These areas are common substrates for subsecond explicit timing across modalities and interval types.

Conclusions:

  • The supplementary motor area and basal ganglia play a crucial role in subsecond temporal processing.
  • These findings advance our understanding of the neural basis of timing across different sensory inputs.
