Brain regions implicated in explicit timing may have functionally discrete roles that vary with task context.
Excitatory-inhibitory balance among distinct striatal neuron subtypes may fine-tune temporal accuracy and precision.
Neuronal firing rates in striatal and interconnected frontal areas vary as a function of duration, supporting a neurophysiological mechanism for time representation.
Basal ganglia, supplementary motor area, cerebellum, and prefrontal cortex have all been linked to explicit estimation of duration.
Within the regions linked to explicit timing, the dorsal striatum and its ascending nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway seem to be the most crucial.
