Time flies when you're having goal-motivated fun
Though the seconds tick by at a regular pace, our experience of time is anything but uniform. When we're waiting in line, time seems to slow to a trickle. And when we're caught up in something completely engrossing, we lose sense of time altogether. But what about the idea that time flies when we're having fun? New research suggests that the familiar adage is true, with a caveat: time flies when we're have goal-motivated fun.

Male mice exposed to chronic social stress have anxious female offspring
A study in mice suggests that a woman's risk of anxiety and dysfunctional social behavior may depend on the experiences of her parents, particularly fathers, when they were young.

War is not necessarily the cause of post-traumatic stress disorder
Surprisingly, the majority of soldiers exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome were suffering from poor mental health before they were posted to a war zone, new research suggests.

Brain's hidden sewers revealed
The brain is a self-cleaning machine. A previously unknown plumbing system blasts out waste by flushing it with the brain’s cleaning solution — cerebrospinal fluid.

Unprecedented accuracy in locating brain electrical activity with new device
Researchers have developed the world’s first device designed for mapping the human brain that combines whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. MEG measures the electrical function and MRI visualizes the structure of the brain. The merging of these two technologies will produce unprecedented accuracy in locating brain electrical activity non-invasively.

Efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression confirmed in new study
In one of the first studies to look at transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in real-world clinical practice settings, researchers have confirmed that TMS is an effective treatment for patients with depression who are unable to find symptom relief through antidepressant medications.

Note to waitresses: Wearing red can be profitable
In many restaurants throughout the world, wait staff's income depends largely on the tips received from customers. According to a new study, male restaurant customers give higher tips to waitresses wearing red.
