Basal ganglia and time perception

This review investigates the role of the basal ganglia in time perception, a critical aspect of human cognition and motor function. Through a comprehensive review and analysis of neuroimaging studies, neuropsychological research, and clinical observations, the review highlights how basal ganglia lesions affect various temporal processing tasks across auditory and visual modalities. The findings suggest a complex interaction between the basal ganglia, cognitive processes, and motor control in timing, emphasizing the importance of these structures in both motor and cognitive aspects of time perception.
