Alzheimer’s Disease Leads To Loss Of Visual Memory: Study

Arpita SarkarAugust 20, 20220

According to a new MIT study, Alzheimer's disease affects at least one type of visual memory by deteriorating a recently discovered circuit that connects the image processing areas of each brain hemisphere. The findings, published in the journal Neuron by a research team at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, come from experiments in mice, but provide a physiological and mechanistic basis for earlier observations in human patients: reductions in the level of brain rhythms between counterpart regions in each hemisphere correlate with the clinical severity of dementia. Author Chinnakkaruppan Adaikkan, assistant professor in the Centre for Brain Research at the IISc said, "We demonstrate that there is a functional circuit that can explain this phenomenon.

Arpita SarkarAugust 20, 20220

All vehicular entrances to Naroda and Naroda Patiya were barricaded on Friday. Police presence in these areas of Ahmedabad, which saw the worst of the 2002 Gujarat riots, is usually associated with something ominous. But, on Friday, it was for a fun fair on the streets of Naroda, where children jumped on trampolines, a young girl walked on a tightrope mesmerizing onlookers, while adults bought various items from stalls set up on the pavement. Amid a raging controversy over the release of 11 convicts in the 2002 Bilkis Bano gang-rape case, life continued as normal in Naroda and Naroda Patia — where an armed mob of about 5,000 killed more than 97 people during the 2002 riots. Muslim families in the neighborhood were angered by the Gujarat government's decision to pardon 11 accus...

Opposition Abandons All Hope Of Defeating Modi Almost Halfway To 2024

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 18, 20220

The present political opposition in India needs even a sliver of this famous quote to be successful. It's hard to discern whether the opposition's demise was due to ineptitude or the government's pro-people measures. Weak political opposition is bad for democracies, but in this instance, it's the opposition's lack of interest in the people. Speculation abounds over whether the opposition parties would challenge Mr. Modi and his party in 2024. The fact that this topic is being raised two years before the next general election shows the opposition parties' instability. They should respect voters' will. The concerns are more important because the BJP, despite being in office for eight years, continues to bat first, which the opposition should do. The opposition has corruption charge...

It’s Maha Time: Next Important Test For BJP-Shinde Will Be Municipal Elections

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 17, 20220

It took six weeks of discussions, but the BJP has secured crucial positions in Maharashtra's newly expanded government. Though nine ministers were sworn in from both parties, the BJP has received the more prestigious ministries due to its larger majority in the legislature. Devendra Fadnavis, the state of Maharashtra's deputy chief minister, is a strong figure in the state's government. As most of the BJP's portfolios were handled by NCP and Congress in the MVA government, the 40-MLA Eknath Shinde faction might take solace in the fact that a certain equilibrium continues. However, the Shiv Sena has been weakened and fractured as a result of their continued time in office. There will be grumbling even within the BJP, as most ministers have been given far smaller portfolios than th...
