Background and Objective: According to the Striatal Beat Frequency model, timing behavior is associated with subcortical structures. Substantial study of timing behavior necessitates encompassing more parameters, including reaction time. The present study aimed to assess the timing function of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) according to the Striatal Beat Frequency (SBF) model of timing behavior, with particular regard to reaction time.
Materials and Methods: A total of 45 MS patients were recruited from Poursina Hospital in Rasht. The patients' magnetic resonance imaging scans were examined by a neurologist to inspect and specify the number and location of MS plaques. The simple and selective reaction time of 31 patients was evaluated. Both parametric and non-parametric tests were used to analyze the data via SPSS software (version 26).
Results: Both simple and selective reaction time was significantly correlated with age, education, body mass index, number of symptoms, and score of disability. After controlling the gender variable, it was revealed that the thalamus was the most affected part of the brain in MS patients; nonetheless, the lesions in other areas were less related to the reaction time in patients.
Conclusion: Simple and selective reaction time was correlated with the function of the thalamus and subthalamic nuclei in MS patients. This study provided valuable insights regarding the usefulness of reaction time as a relevant index of timing behavior in modeling and comprehending timing behavior.
