Researchers have discovered a small population of neurons that is involved in measuring time. In the study, which is published October 30 in the open access journal iPLOS Biology/i, the researchers developed a task in which monkeys could only rely on their internal sense of the passage of time. Their task design eliminated all external cues which could have served as "clocks". The monkeys were trained to move their eyes consistently at regular time intervals ...Wednesday, 31 October 2012
Study Explores How the Brain Measures Time
