"Synaptic" ribbons and spherules of the rat pineal gland: day/night changes in vitro?

abstract：:There are a number of studies concerning difference of postural control following left or right hemisphere lesions. Few studies, however, compare the role of the right and left hemisphere in learning new postural tasks. This study aimed to address this question. Twenty patients with hemiparesis after ischemic stroke i...
