Phase precession plays a critical role in the human brain. Not only does it link sequential positions, but it also plays a role in abstract progression to a specific goal.
Pyramidal cells in the CA2 region of the hippocampus are responsible for storing critical timing information.
The striatum and premotor cortex show altered patterns in neural activity when encoding time. The dynamics of the striatum were more sequential than those of the premotor cortex.
Researchers report there are two distinct ways in which we make temporal predictions, and these rely on different parts of the brain. The findings offer a new perspective on how humans calculate when to make a move.
According to researchers, drumming for an hour a week helps improve learning at school for children on the autism spectrum. The study reports drumming not only improves dexterity, rhythm and timing for those with ASD, it also helps improve concentration and enhances communication with peers.
Researchers report blind people need additional timing cues to accurately judge relative locations of sounds, but those without visual impairments who were blindfolded could judge the relative location of sounds independently from timing cues.
Under certain, pristine conditions, eyewitness confidence can reliably indicate the accuracy of an identification, researchers report.
A new study reports vision relies on patterns of brain activity.
