The Impact of Interval Timing on Decision Making

Exploring interval timing, this book delves into its complex cognitive processes essential for survival across species. It examines how timing interacts with attention, decision-making, and inhibitory functions, particularly focusing on time estimation and reproduction tasks within seconds. The author highlights the similarities between avian NCL and mammalian PFC in performing these functions, while investigating the roles of dopamine and acetylcholine in interval timing and its impact on higher cognitive functions.
