Researchers at New York University (NYU) have made a significant discovery that challenges the conventional understanding of memory, suggesting that memory formation occurs not only in brain cells but also in various other cells throughout the body. The study, published in *Nature Communications*, indicates that these non-brain cells can learn and remember by responding to chemical signals, similar to how brain cells process information. Lead author Nikolay V. Kukushkin highlights that this finding reflects the massed-spaced effect, where spaced repetition enhances retention. The implications of this research could transform treatments for memory-related disorders and enhance learning strategies by recognizing that memory functions may be a fundamental property of all cells. This discovery could lead to innovative approaches in healthcare, prompting a reevaluation of how different cells, including those in the pancreas and cancer cells, retain information about past experiences and treatments.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 4 ameznews.inThe slogan "Batenge toh katenge" (Division is destruction), championed by BJP campaigner Yogi Adityanath in Maharashtra, is causing unease not only among allies but also within the BJP itself.

Published: Nov 15 2024, 3 ameznews.inNorth India is currently shrouded in severe smog, with air quality in the 'Severe' category across the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), including Delhi and surrounding regions. The spike in pollution is attributed to thermal inversion, which traps pollutants close to the ground, exacerbated by crop burning in Punjab and Haryana. NASA scientist Hiren Jethwa revealed that farmers are timing their burning activities to avoid detection by NASA satellites, often igniting fires in the late afternoon after satellite overpasses. While Punjab has reportedly reduced stubble burning by 71% compared to last year, satellite data indicates ongoing high levels of crop fires. Delhi's Air Quality Index peaked at 428, marking its worst reading of the season, while neighboring Pakistan faces similar pollution crises, prompting health warnings and restrictions on outdoor activities. UNICEF has called for urgent action to protect children's health in the region, where millions are exposed to toxic air.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 1 ameznews.inIndia's consumer affairs secretary announced that the Bureau of Indian Standards will investigate Ola Electric following a significant rise in complaints regarding its e-scooters.

Despite this, the CCPA's request for a detailed inquiry indicates ongoing concerns about service standards and product quality. Ola's founder, Bhavish Aggarwal, noted that many complaints were related to minor issues, such as loose parts and user unfamiliarity with the software. The scrutiny comes after a successful market debut in August, but Ola Electric's shares have since fallen approximately 7.6% from their initial listing price of 76 rupees, reflecting investor concerns amid regulatory challenges.
