Ongoing neural activity fluctuates over a broad range of timescales. Variations in intrinsic timescales across the forebrain relate to the functional specialization of cortical areas along the visual hierarchy [1, 2]. Furthermore, these timescales adapt to task demands, for example, during selective attention [3] and working memory [4] tasks. However, the distribution of timescales and their relationship to brain structure and behavior have not been characterized beyond the forebrain, despite the evolutionary relevance of midbrain and hindbrain areas. These areas are preserved across different
