Probiotic supplementation improves cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults, enhancing memory, processing speed, and spatial reasoning. Benefits are narrower in children and young adults, suggesting age-dependent effects along the gut-brain axis.

Very long-range uncrewed underwater platforms could erode distance as a shield. China’s progress suggests new options to threaten distant ports and sea lanes. This shifts assumptions about reach, deterrence, and how maritime security must be planned.
