Neuropsychology of Time

The neuropsychology of time explores how our brain perceives and processes the experience of time. It involves specific brain regions, like the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia, which help us estimate durations, sequence events, and anticipate future outcomes. Disruptions in these areas can lead to difficulties with time perception, such as feeling that time is speeding up, slowing down, or losing track of the order of events. This understanding helps explain how brain injuries or neurological conditions affect our ability to judge time and coordinate actions effectively.
