Evidence for timing in the midsession reversal task with rats in operant conditioning boxes

This study shows rats use both local reinforcement cues and timing information in the midsession reversal task, adjusting behavior based on experienced temporal midpoints rather than trial numbers.

Time-Encoding Migrates from Prefrontal Cortex to Dorsal Striatum During Learning of a Self-Timed Response Duration Task

This study shows that time encoding shifts from the prefrontal cortex to the dorsal striatum as rats learn a self-timed response duration task.

Differences in perceived duration between plausible biological and non-biological stimuli

The paper investigates whether perceived duration differs between biological and non-biological motion stimuli across different speeds, finding that biological stimuli are judged to last longer when movement is plausible.

Rats can learn a temporal task in a single session

This paper introduces a fast-learning protocol for temporal tasks in rats, achieving stable performance in a single session instead of weeks of training.

Dissociating decisional and temporal information in interval categorisation

This study shows that EEG activity during a temporal categorisation task encodes both temporal and decisional information, with decisional aspects better explaining activity typically linked to timing.

A common representation of time across visual and auditory modalities

The paper shows that temporal interval encoding in auditory and visual modalities shares a common neural representation, despite differences in accuracy between modalities.

Medial frontal theta is entrained to rewarded actions

The paper investigates how reward value is encoded by medial frontal cortex theta rhythms in rats during licking tasks, finding that theta rhythms are synchronized with rewarded actions and persist beyond fluid delivery.

Dynamic representation of time in brain states

This study shows that high-dimensional brain states from human EEG correlate with temporal judgements and exhibit properties of temporal perception.
