The North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) plays an important role in regulating thermohaline structure and biogeochemical distributions in the North Pacific. However, limited continuous observations have hindered our understanding of its short-term variability and structural response to mesoscale processes. Based on 1 year mooring observations from three sites (M1–M3) in the western North Pacific, this study investigates the...

Social defeat stress (SDS) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders like anxiety and depression. Sleep is generally considered to involve recovery of the brain from prior experience during wakefulness and is altered after acute SDS. However, the effect of acute SDS on sleep/wake behavior in mice varies between studies. In addition, whether sleep changes in response to stress contribute to anxiety is not...
