Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

If you've ever hosted a mouse as a house guest, you know they can be incredibly clever at finding your food.

And that makes sense.

They have to become better in traits like problem-solving because we became better at hiding our food from them.

Anya Guntar is with the Max Planck Institute in Germany.

She says that Battle of the Mines has made mice craftier over time.

The longer the mice live with humans, the better they are at problem-solving.

You see, there are more than a dozen subspecies of house mice worldwide,

and each began cohabitating with humans at different times in our evolutionary

history. Take, for example,

Musmusmusculus domesticas. It began raiding human pantries around 12,000 years ago.

Musculos musculos musculos. Our relationship with them began some 8,000 years ago.

And mus musculos castanios. That one is a relative newcomer, which began

cohabitating only three to five thousand years ago. And that spread, in evolutionary life

histories among the three groups, gave Guntar's team an opportunity. They gathered 150 mice

with constituents from all three groups and tested them with seven different food puzzles.

Each puzzle was baited with a mealworm, which the mice could only get by pushing or pulling a lid,
