Neural dynamics

Hot times for the dorsal striatum

Nature Neuroscience volume 26, pages 1320–1321 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

Monteiro and colleagues used temperature manipulation to bidirectionally alter the speed of neuronal dynamics in the dorsal striatum of anesthetized rats. This manipulation selectively slowed down or sped up time perception, providing insights into the mechanisms of time-based decisions.
