0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | .j.p. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T.C-O.J.P. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.7 | This is Scientific American 60 Second Science. I'm Eli Chen. |
0:38.1 | Got a minute? |
0:39.3 | How do you attract a mate? |
0:41.2 | If you're a male mouse, you take the Frank Sinatra approach. |

1:03.5 | If you reverse roles, the females do not sing. |
1:06.2 | So scientists believe that in courtship, males made all the noise until now. |
1:10.4 | The problem with the field is we've never had a way to figure out who's vocalizing. |
1:15.4 | Neuroscientist Josh Nunabelle at University of Delaware, he realized that researchers needed |
1:20.1 | better listening tools. So Nunabel built a mouse-sized recording studio. |
1:24.7 | His team lined a small closet with nylon mesh and foam, which absorb sound |
1:28.6 | rather than reflect it. And they installed ultrasonic microphones because mice make sounds at a frequency |
1:33.8 | that's above the range of human hearing. That's a mouse thing slowed down so we can hear it. |
