Washington, Nov 13: Archaeologists have discovered a labyrinth filled with stone temples and pyramids in 14 caves, some of which are underwater, on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, which according to Maya myth, might be the portal to hell.
According to a report in National Geographic News, the discovery has experts wondering whether Mayan legend inspired the construction of the underground complex, or vice versa.

Washington, November 13: A new study has confirmed that a commonly used anaesthetic can produce changes associated with Alzheimer''s disease in the brains of living mammals.
Led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers, the study shows how administration of the gas isoflurane can lead to generation of the toxic amyloid-beta
(A-beta) protein in the brains of mice.
"These are the first in vivo results indicating that isoflurane can set off a time-dependent cascade inducing apoptosis (cell death) and enhanced levels of the Alzheimer''s-associated proteins BACE and A-beta," says Dr. Zhongcong Xie of the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease (MGH-MIND) and the MGH Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care.
