Topic: timing behavior

An important ability for successful interaction with the environment is the estimation of magnitudes such as the duration of an event. To improve duration estimates, the brain must compensate for sensory uncertainty, which it does by encoding the statistical regularities that link co-occurring stimuli and tasks (i.e., temporal context). The entorhinal cortex (EC) supports the encoding of such task regularities, which has been suggested to rely on grid cells that the EC is known to harbor. On population level, grid cells exhibit a six-fold rotational symmetry as a function of gaze direction, wh
