What makes us tick? Functional and neural mechanisms of interval timing
TLDR
It is proposed that the brain represents time in a distributed manner and tells the time by detecting the coincidental activation of different neural populations.

Scalar Timing in Memory
TLDR
The generalized account proposed here will develop the conclusion that scalar sources dominate in some time ranges, while other sources may dominate in others, and are applied to two additional timing tasks with different characteristics.

Neuroanatomical and Neurochemical Substrates of Timing
TLDR
Neural firing rates in both striatal and interconnected frontal areas vary as a function of duration, suggesting a neurophysiological mechanism for the representation of time in the brain, with the excitatory–inhibitory balance of interactions among distinct subtypes of striatal neuron serving to fine-tune temporal accuracy and precision.

TLDR
The conclusion is that internal clock and memory processes can be dissociated by selectively adjusting their speed of operation and that these changes can be quantitatively modeled by a scalar timing theory.

Organizational effects of early gonadal secretions on sexual differentiation in spatial memory.
TLDR
The data suggest that early exposure to gonadal steroids (probably estradiol) improves acquisition of spatial tasks by reorganizing and simplifying associational-perceptual processes that guide spatial ability.
