Mental Illness May Speed Up the Aging Process, Study Finds
Mental illness is a notorious thief, stealing joy, peace, and ease from the estimated one billion people worldwide who suffer from it.

Science Saturday: Understanding the speed of brain communication
It often was thought that the speed of information transmitted among regions of the brain stabilized during early adolescence. A new study in Nature Neuroscience by Mayo Clinic researchers and colleagues from the Netherlands found transmission speeds continue to increase into early adulthood.
