Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper's REAL secret message, according to experts
More than a decade ago, Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper became the subject of both mystery and debate after The Da Vinci Code spurred theories on the role of Mary Magdalene and 'The Holy Grail.' While the claims made in the fictional story are far from the truth, experts now say the painting holds a few real-life secrets of its own. Built into The Last Supper is a subtle message that sets it apart from other paintings of its kind - though earlier artwork depicted the 13 subjects as saints, Da Vinci's work, pictured as the main image above, suggests the disciples were common people, and that Jesus himself was actually mortal. Earlier versions of The Last Supper, shown in the top inset photos, show each of the subjects with a halo.

Plastic "continents" are not static. Based on the oceanic circulation modelling work conducted in the Pacific, researchers have recently shown that there are exit currents for these areas of the sea where these piles of waste build up. This means that they are not caught in a never-ending whirlpool in the middle of the ocean, as had been previously thought. Although inappropriate given the actual estimated concentrations, this term highlights the awareness of the impact of human activity on the oceans.

Researchers have found a connection between lack of ovarian hormones and changes in the brain's pleasure center, a hotspot in the brain that processes and reinforces messages related to reward, pleasure, activity and motivation for physical exercise.

Though the drug levodopa can dramatically improve Parkinson's disease symptoms, within five years one-half of the patients using L-DOPA develop an irreversible condition -- involuntary repetitive, rapid and jerky movements. UAB researchers have uncovered an essential mechanism of long-term memory for L-DOPA-induced-dyskinesia: widespread reorganization of DNA methylation, and this may be a therapeutic target to prevent or reverse dyskinesia.
