The behavioral and neural mechanisms by which distracters delay interval timing behavior are currently unclear. Distracters delay timing in a considerable dynamic range: Some distracters have no effect on timing ( “run”), while others seem to “stop” timing; some distracters re-start (“reset”) the entire timing mechanisms at their offset, while others seem to capture attentional resources long after their termination (“over-reset”). While the run-reset range of delays is accounted for by the Time-Sharing Hypothesis, the behavioral and neural mechanisms of “over-resetting” are currently uncertain. We investigated the role of novelty (novel / familiar) and significance (consequential / inconsequential) in the time-delaying effect of distracters, and the role of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) catecholamines by local infusion of NDRI nomifensine, in a peak-interval procedure in rats. Results indicate differences in time-delay between groups suggesting a role for both novelty and significance: Inconsequential, familiar distracters “stopped” timing, novel distracters “reset” timing, while appetitively-conditioned distracters “over-reset” timing. mPFC infusion of nomifensine modulated attentional capture by appetitive distracters in a “U”-shaped fashion, reduced the delay after novel distracters, but had no effects after inconsequential, familiar distracters. These results were not due to nomifensine affecting either timing accuracy, precision, or peak response rate. Results may help elucidate the behavioral and physiological mechanisms underlying interval timing and attention to time, and may contribute to developing new treatment strategies for disorders of attention.
