A rudimentary form of time-dependent awareness in mice.

Keeping track of event times and the uncertainty in the resultant representation time intervals is pivotal for adaptive decision-making and action planning. To this end, earlier experiments showed that humans and rodents can generate adaptive biases in decision-making considering their representational timing uncertainty. More recent studies showed that humans and rats can also track whether and how much one has underestimated or overestimated the duration of an event (resulting from timing uncertainty).
