【 摘 要 】

An accurate representation of time-dimension in the neuronal circuits is required for a successful interaction of the brain with the four-dimensional physical world. Time-dimension, unlike other three dimensions of our physical universe, is never perceived as a novelty, but only reported as the flow of time. As there are no known neurological or psychiatric disorders that are associated with the loss of the sense of flow of time, this suggests that the functions of the brain involve processing of temporal information (Merchant et al., 2013). Moreover, psychological flow of time is likely the result of the perception of the physical nature of the time-dimension.
