Brain regions associated with time

The brain regions involved in perceiving and processing time include the cerebellum, which helps with precise timing and coordination; the basal ganglia, crucial for interval timing and movement control; and the prefrontal cortex, responsible for planning, decision-making, and estimating durations. The supplementary motor area also plays a role in timing movements. These regions work together to help us perceive durations, predict events, and coordinate actions, allowing us to interact smoothly with our environment and maintain a sense of ongoing time.
