Vestibular control of skeletal geometry in the guinea pig: a problem of good trim?

abstract：:Unraveling the mysteries of consciousness, lost and regained, and perhaps even intervening so as to prompt recovery are advances for which neither the clinical nor the lay community are prepared. These advances will shake existing expectations about severe brain damage and will find an unprepared clinical context, per...
