A recent rat-brain study offers insight into how the brain tells time, and its lead researcher believes the findings have practical applications for how we can cope with unpleasant things in life, or make the most of a good time.

Time flies when you're having fun. A new study from the University of Nevada (UNLV), Las Vegas, published in the journal Current Biology, explains what happens to our brains in these cases . Many people think that their  brains  are intrinsically synchronized with the artificial clocks we have on electronic devices , which mark the passage of time minute by minute.

Ever hear the old adage that time flies when you're having fun? A new study by a team of UNLV researchers suggests that there's a lot of truth to the trope. Many people think of their brains as being intrinsically synced to the man-made clocks on their electronic devices, counting time in very specific, minute-by-minute increments. But the study, published this month in the latest issue of the peer-reviewed Cell Press journal Current Biology, showed that our brains don't work that way.

Type 2 diabetes may up the risk for Alzheimer's disease by altering brain function, new animal research suggests.

A team of UNLV neuroscientists has strengthened the link between Type II diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
