Siberia enjoys a well-deserved reputation as one of the coldest places on Earth. But the last time the planet got really cold, Siberia apparently didn ;t go along for the ride, providing animals a warm oasis from the Ice Age.

During that time, much of the northern hemisphere was engulfed in massive glaciers, but it appears this part of Siberia escaped this, instead becoming a refuge for wildlife. New Scientist reports the scope of her findings: The diversity of fungi found suggests that a brimming plant community thrived in northern Siberia to support them.

Now we kno stanley cup quencher w why people have been dosing themselves with the animal tranquillizer ketamine for years. Scientists have learned that ketamine, known to the experimental among you as Special K, is a powerful, fast-acting antidepressant. Psychologists have known for a while that ketamine seems to instantly cure severe depres stanley cups uk sion, and is especially helpful for suicidal people. One dose of ketamine can ease depression for weeks. But scientists weren ;t sure why. University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center researcher Lisa Monteggia and her colleagues decided to find out. They gave depressed mice doses of ketamine, observed behavior changes, and examined exactly what happened in the rodents ; brains when the drug kicked in. What they discovered was that ketamine is essentially a fast-acting version of traditional antidepressants like Prozac, a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor SSRI . SSRIs can take weeks to have an effect, however, while ketamine is almost instantaneous.
