Cells Outside The Brain Show Signs Of Memory And "Learning" For The First Time
Think learning and memory are all the job of the brain? You might want to think again, if the results of a recent study are to be believed. In a first, scientists at New York University (NYU) uncovered evidence of a type of learning called the massed-space effect in cells from outside the brain, suggesting that it’s not so much about the type of cells, but rather just the fact that they are cells that matters.
“We find that other cells – not just brain cells, but other cells in the body – store patterns of information, and they can detect differences between surprisingly fine patterns,” Kukushkin told IFLScience. “We used kidney cells and neuroblastoma cells, which are neuronal precursors but not neurons, and both of those cells work the same way. So, we believe that it’s not a property of either type of cell – it’s just a generic property of all cells.”

The Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last five trading days since the end of the two-day winning streak in which it had added more than a dozen points or 0.4 percent. The Straits Times Index now sits just above the 3,060-point plateau and it's likely to see a narrow trading range on Monday.
How To Find Channels On Telegram?
There are multiple ways you can search for Telegram channels. One of the methods is really logical and you should all know it by now. We’re talking about using Telegram’s native search option. Make sure to download Telegram from the official website or update it to the latest version, using this link. Once you’ve installed Telegram, you can simply open the app and use the search bar. Tap on the magnifier icon and search for a channel that might interest you (e.g. Marvel comics). Even though this is the easiest method for searching Telegram channels, it isn’t the best one. This method is limited because it shows you only a couple of results per search.
