  • In a recent study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, Bartolo et al (2014) examined the role of beta oscillations in interval timing by directly recording from the putamen in macaques during a rhythmic synchronization task

  • Single-unit as well as local field potential (LFP) activity in the putamen in the beta and gamma range was analyzed to determine the neural correlates of interval timing. They found that LFPs in the beta band exhibit interval tuning and showed a preference for intervals with duration around 800 ms, similar to the preferred duration observed in medial premotor cortex neurons (Merchant et al, 2013)
