Published: Jan 03 2025, 8 ameznews.inA study by Cornell University, published in _Nature_, has revealed a significant connection between pupil size and memory processing during sleep, suggesting that pupil dilation and contraction may indicate the type of memories being replayed in dreams. Researchers utilized eye-tracking technology and EEG to observe sleep patterns in mice, who were exposed to new information, such as navigating a maze, before sleeping. The findings showed two distinct substages during NREM sleep: pupil contraction indicated the replay of new memories, while dilation suggested the processing of past experiences. This research sheds light on how the brain can manage the integration of new and old memories without erasing previous knowledge, addressing the challenge of "catastrophic interference" in memory retention. The study's implications could enhance understanding of memory processes in humans and inform advancements in artificial intelligence.
Published: Jan 03 2025, 7 ameznews.inThe Supreme Court of India expressed strong disapproval of a petition challenging the conferment of senior designations to lawyers, labeling the allegations made as "scurrilous and unfounded."

The petition specifically seeks to quash a recent decision by the Delhi High Court that conferred senior designations to approximately 70 lawyers.
