Inspired by recent discoveries of neural populations that track time for specific moments (time cells) and elapsed durations (temporal context and periodic time cells), this review, based on a minisymposium presented at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, brings together macro-, meso-, and micro-scale neural evidence to formulate hypotheses about how episodic time-the tracking and organizing of events in time as we experience, store, and retrieve them from memory-is coded and processed in the mammalian brain. We also discuss computational principles and relationships to other related phenomena such as memory replay and emotional states.
