Topic: temporal delayed nonmatch to sample

The nervous system must perceive and learn durations to guide adaptive behavior. Prior work to investigate the neural substrates of interval timing has focused largely on relatively simple timing tasks whereby subjects learn to discriminate and reproduce the duration of events occurring at a single fixed interval. Although episodic memory requires accurate temporal coding and is mediated by structures in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), including the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), a well-established role for MTL circuits in interval timing behavior is conspicuously lacking. MEC seems well-suit
