Eliminated grants include those awarded to UNLV Partnership for Research, Assessment, Counseling, Therapy and Innovative Clinical Education (PRACTICE), a mental health clinic at UNLV that provides care to populations that have difficulty accessing help, and turns out trained mental health providers in the process.

Researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have made a significant breakthrough in autism research. The UNLV researchers uncovered a connection to a type of neuromuscular disease called myotonic dystrophy.

Interim NSHE Chancellor Patty Charlton will formally recommend appointing him at Thursday's meeting. NSHE chose Heavey for the interim role after holding a series of listening sessions with UNLV constituencies in March, according to the agenda item.

Eight lucky students were chosen out of more than 100,000 Clark County-based students to create art for the Exosphere. The students chosen range from elementary school to college and will have their Earth Day-themed artwork displayed on a rotation basis at the Exosphere throughout the summer.

Many people don’t think twice when their physician prescribes antidepressants or other medications—after all, mental health is just as important as physical well-being. However, new research suggests that some of these drugs may quietly interfere with brain development in unborn children, raising urgent safety concerns during pregnancy.

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, said that wildlife trafficking is a $10 billion industry, with millions of animals dying in transit each year. That's not surprising after seeing photos of the bound turtles in the Express story.

Pilots' mealtime options at cruising altitude aren't just a matter of taste—they follow airline protocols you might not expect.

A recent discovery of a molecular connection between autism and myotonic dystrophy, a type of neuromuscular disease, may provide a breakthrough on how clinicians approach autism spectrum disorder. The new study by an interdisciplinary team of biomedical scientists, published on April 21 in Nature Neuroscience, used myotonic dystrophy as a tool or model to learn more about autism – effectively using one disorder to better understand the other.
