Question

Not necessarily in the sense of memories and past experiences, but instead more in the vein of how my brain would know/estimate that it’s been roughly a minute, or an hour?

Answer 1

The dorsolateral prefrontal right cortex processes our perception of time.

As we age and its neurons decay, signals are transmitted irregularly and this can lead to the feeling that time is speeding up as we age.
