Neuropsychology of Timing and Time Perception
Brain and Cognition, 58 (1):
1--8 (June 2005)Abstract
Interval timing in the range of milliseconds to minutes is affected
in a variety of neurological and psychiatric populations involving
disruption of the frontal cortex, hippocampus, basal ganglia, and
cerebellum. Our understanding of these distortions in timing and
time perception are aided by the analysis of the sources of variance
attributable to clock, memory, decision, and motor-control processes.
The conclusion is that the representation of time depends on the
integration of multiple neural systems that can be fruitfully studied
in selected patient populations.
