Extreme Ocean Pressure Is Feeding Deep-Sea Life in a Way Scientists Never Expected
High pressure in the deep ocean may squeeze nutrients from sinking “marine snow,” feeding deep-sea microbes and altering how carbon moves through the ocean. For decades, scientists have considered the deep ocean a nutrient-poor environment…

When Gut-Brain Signaling Improved in Aging Mice, So Did Cognition
The vagus nerve is a direct link between the gut and brain. Scientists have now used a mouse model to show that changes in gut bacteria could be directly linked to declines in cognition that can happen during…
