Weekend warriors reap similar brain health benefits as individuals who exercise more regularly throughout the week. Researchers have increasingly taken interest in the “weekend warrior” exercise phenomenon: when an individual tends to get the majority of their physical activity in during one or two days of the week.

The new school year begins Monday morning after summer-long efforts by the Clark County School District to fill classroom vacancies, combat chronic absenteeism and improve school safety.

The Clark County School District (CCSD) Class of 2024-2025 will receive a graduation cap in May, but will also see their grade point averages (GPA) capped this year. Grade point averages will also be capped at 4.95, maximizing the potential number of students in the running to be valedictorian. The first class affected by this change was the Class of 2024, which graduated earlier this year.

The Clark County School District class of 2024-2025 will be receiving a graduation cap in May, but that’s not the only cap the class is receiving this year. Grade point averages will also be capped for the class at a 4.95, maximizing the potential number of students in the running for valedictorian. The first class to be affected by this change was the class of 2024, who graduated earlier this year.

Maybe people can control time — or their perception of it, anyway. A new paper written by UNLV Professor of Psychology James Hyman and published recently in Current Biology shows that the way people experience time has less to do with the physical hands of a clock, and more to do with the number of experiences in that given period of time.

Inner speaking, inner seeing, feelings, sensory awareness, unsymbolized thinking. Do we all have the same inner experiences? And how aware are we of what we actually experience from moment to moment?

What did it take for Allie Wilson to make her first Olympic team? If you ask her, it wasn’t a physical breakthrough on the track—it was the work she’s been doing “upstairs.”

We often think our brains tick away time in perfect synchronization with the clocks on our walls and electronic devices. However, groundbreaking research published in the journal Current Biology provides evidence that our perception of time is not governed by an internal clock but by the number of experiences we have. This study found that changes in brain activity patterns, specifically in the anterior cingulate cortex, indicate that our brains track the passage of time based on the accumulation of experiences rather than a steady internal clock.

Our brain measures time by counting experiences, not by following a strict chronological order. A new study by a team of UNLV researchers suggests that there’s a lot of truth to the trope “time flies when you’re having fun.” In their study, recently published in the journal Current Biology, the researchers discovered that our perception of time is based on the number of experiences we have, not on an internal clock. Additionally, they found that increasing speed or output during an activity appears to affect how our brains perceive time.

Have you ever heard the old saying that time flies when you're having fun? A new study by a team of UNLV researchers suggests there's a lot of truth to that saying. Many people think their brains are intrinsically synchronized with the clocks on their wrists or cell phones that count time in very specific, minute-by-minute increments. But the study , published in Cell Press's peer-reviewed journal Current Biology , showed that our brains don't work that way.
