The Influence of an Appetitive Conditioned Stimulus on Interval Timing Behavior
… examine the effects of motivational variables on timing behavior. The Pavlovian-Instrumental transfer (PIT) paradigm is a prototype for studying Pavlovian incentive motivation. The current study examined the effect of a Pavlovian appetitive conditioned stimulus (CS) on timing performance, based on …

Mapping the Neural Circuits That Modulates the Molecular Switch Between Alternative Interval Timing Behaviours in Drosophila Melanogaster
Neuropeptides are central modulators of many functions including male-specific mating behaviours. Understanding how these chemical messengers modulate the neural substrates are still not well understood but remains important for biological research. In Drosophila melanogaster, two well-defined …

Mediodorsal thalamus contributes to the timing of instrumental actions
<p>Interval timing relies on a widely dispersed network of cortical and subcortical brain regions. Despite increasing evidence emphasizing the integrative role of the thalamus in cognition, its contribution to timing behavior is poorly understood. Anatomically connected to brain regions within the …

Neural Population Dynamics Underlying Encoding of Time in the Cortico-Striatal Circuit
<p>Interval timing, the ability to accurately measure elapsed time between events, is critical for generating appropriate behavioral responses. Research conducted over the past decades has implicated the cortico-striatal-thalamic loop in time encoding,suggesting that the cortex utilizes …

Neural activity in the posterior thalamus and hippocampus during time interval discrimination in rats
… from microseconds to daily circadian rhythms. Interval timing, which refers to timing in the range of seconds-to-minutes durations, is a prerequisite for numerous daily behaviors, including the perception and production of speech and dance, as well as estimation of the time that remains before …

Learning Long Temporal Sequences in Spiking Networks by Multiplexing Neural Oscillations
… learn a wide variety of temporal tasks such as interval timing, motor control, speech production and spatial navigation.

Leveraging synergistic intervals to enhance timing under multiple interval schedules
Accurate and precise timing is a fundamental aspect of many behaviors, skills, and occupations. This study tested whether structuring multiple intervals with simple multiplicative relationships enables participants to use rewards from shorter intervals as cues to improve timing on longer intervals. …

Role of rat medial prefrontal cortex in time interval estimation
… the involvement of prefrontal cortex in time interval estimation. The underlying neural processes are poorly understood, however, in part because of the paucity of physiological studies. The goal of this study was to test the requirement of intact medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) for performing …

The Effects of Pre-Trial Event Stimulus Properties on Timing in the Peak Interval Procedure
<p>In the peak interval procedure, intruded conditioned stimuli produce shifts in peak/middle time towards later values, regardless of whether these stimuli are presented prior to or during the timing signal. Although the effects of during-trial stimulus properties—temporal location, duration, and …
