“…In Magnani et al (2011) RHD patients without neglect presented with a tendency to underestimate temporal durations in a time reproduction task. PA inducing leftward after-effect increased temporal underestimation in RHD patients and controls (as in Frassinetti et al, 2009), whereas it was ineffective in left brain damaged patients.…”

“…With respect to the time domain, two recent studies (Magnani et al, 2011;Oliveri et al, in press) showed that RHD patients present, in temporal bisection tasks, an underestimation of temporal durations, which parallels their contralesional deficits in spatial-representational hemispace and that this bias can be affected by PA. The overall performance suggests that the task was overall difficult to be performed accurately by the patients, but the modulation induced by PA demonstrates a key role of spatial attention in producing the effect and parcels out several "nonattentional" explanations.…”

“…Converging time-space interactions, found with various paradigms and in heterogeneous research domains, such as numerical cognition, visuospatial attention, response compatibility or embodied cognition, indeed suggest that humans do not process time and space separately but represent time as space. Indeed, several authors have recently referred to the possibility that humans represent time flow using a spatial layout, or a "mental time line" (Di Bono et al, 2012;Oliveri et al, in press;Ishihara et al, 2008;Magnani et al, 2011;Müller and Schwarz, 2008;Santiago et al, 2007Santiago et al, , 2010Vallesi et al, 2008Vallesi et al, , 2011Weger and Pratt, 2008). The term mental time line (hereafter MTL; see Fig.…”

Here we review the growing evidence of interactions between time and space processing, systematized according to the type of interaction being investigated. We present the empirical findings supporting the possibility that humans represent the subjective time flow on a spatially oriented "mental time line" that is accessed through spatial attention mechanisms. The heterogeneous time-space interactions are then compared with the number-space interactions described in the numerical cognition literature. An alternative hypothesis, which maintains a common system for magnitude processing, including time, space, and number, is also discussed. Finally, we extend the discussion to the more general issue of how the representation of these concepts might be grounded into the cortical circuits that support spatial attention and sensorimotor transformations.

“…The spatial position of temporal stimuli influences their encoding: stimuli presented on the left of space are encoded as shorter than stimuli presented on the right (Vicario et al, 2008). Shifting spatial attention to the left shortens time durations while shifting spatial attention to the right lengthens time durations (Vicario et al, 2008; Frassinetti et al, 2009; Magnani et al, 2011). Time concepts such as days of the week, months, years (Gevers et al, 2003, 2004) or past and future (Torralbo et al, 2006; Santiago et al, 2007) are also ordered in a left-to-right fashion.…”

We reviewed literature to understand when a spatial map for time is available in the brain. We carefully defined the concepts of metrical map of time and of conceptual representation of time as the mental time line (MTL) in order to formulate our position. It is that both metrical map and conceptual representation of time are spatial in nature. The former should be innate, related to motor/implicit timing, it should represent all magnitudes with an analogic and bi-dimensional structure. The latter MTL should be learned, available at about 8–10 years-old and related to cognitive/explicit time. It should have uni-dimensional, linear and directional structure (left-to-right in Western culture). We bear the centrality of the development of number cognition, of time semantic concepts and of reading/writing habits for the development of ordinality and linearity of the MTL.

“…Following an initial adaptation phase during which pointing movements are performed in a spatially shifted manner, the oculomotor system resets itself and the patient’s movements will be adjusted for the optical shift (Luaute et al, 2006a,b). Short-term use of prisms has been found beneficial in the treatment of hemineglect, in the amelioration of representational neglect (e.g., spatial representation of time; Magnani et al, 2011) as well as spatial deficits shown in other modalities including audition (Buxbaum et al, 2004; Hamilton et al, 2008; Jacquin-Curtois et al, 2010). In a detailed study of the effect of prism adaptation on different aspects of somatic neglect, an improvement of tactile performance was found, which resulted in a significant decline in somatic neglect symptoms on clinical assessment (Serino et al, 2007).…”

Beside language, space is to date the most widely recognized lateralized systems. For example, it has been shown that even mental representations of space and the spatial representation of abstract concepts display lateralized characteristics. For the most part, this body of literature describes space as distal or something outside of the observer or actor. What has been strangely absent in the literature on the whole and specifically in the spatial literature until recently is the most proximal space imaginable – the body. In this review, we will summarize three strands of literature showing laterality in body representations. First, evidence of hemispheric asymmetries in body space in health and, second in body space in disease will be examined. Third, studies pointing to differential contributions of the right and left hemisphere to illusory body (space) will be summarized. Together these studies show hemispheric asymmetries to be evident in body representations at the level of simple somatosensory and proprioceptive representations. We propose a novel working hypothesis, whereby neural systems dedicated to processing action-oriented information about one’s own body space may ontogenetically serve as a template for the perception of the external world.
