Scientists pinpoint the key brain mechanism for TIMING

Whether it's playing the piano or swinging a tennis racket, timing is critical for a number of activities. Now, scientists believe they have discovered the key mechanism in the brain that controls this precise timing. Their findings suggest that timing is controlled by neurons that compress or stretch out the steps they take to generate a behaviour at a specific time.
