This credible, biologically possible, fantasy follows the education of a small, multi-colored, English speaking hippo-like creature which is befriended by an American family with twin children, who live on an island in the Canadian Pacific Northwest. Concealing it from the authorities, they try to find out what it is, where it came from, why it is colored and how it can talk, with the help first of a vet and subsequently a zoologist. Meanwhile, with help from the children, the creature's education has proceeded apace. After it becomes computer literate with a special mouse and learns to play chess, the full extent of its incredible intelligence becomes apparent. Worried that the Agriculture Department has become suspicious, they arrange for a successful outing with the help of a broadcaster, setting up a Scientific Foundation to study the animal, under government auspices. The Foundation starts to work to try and discover the mechanism for the animals incredible intelligence and fast-learning ability, only to encounter violence from religious fundamentalists who believe that the it must be a creature of the devil.
Since the beginning of life, all plant and animal kingdoms have been developed or modified based on gravity along with atmospheric composition and solar radiation existing on Earth. Gravity is mainly encoded by the otolithic sensors of the vestibular system but its role has been largely underestimated in favor of the vestibular semicircular canals and reduced to oculomotor and postural coordination. Over the last decade, it has been demonstrated that sensory information provided by the vestibular system is crucial in spatial-memory processes in rats and humans. More recently a role in attention processes has been raised. This topic aims to report and demonstrate the role and integration of vestibular information in cognitive processes in rodent models and human at the behavioral, imaging and electrophysiological levels.

Extrait : Comme ses frères, Normand n’a jamais suivi de cours de musique, autre que les initiations musicales de l’école primaire. Il devient musicien parce qu’il grandit dans une famille où on joue constamment des pièces jazz, R’n’B et blues des années 1930 à 1960. Normand adore quand Richard monte sa batterie dans le salon, que Robert accorde sa guitare et que sa mère s’installe au piano en lui faisant une place à ses côtés. Ces sessions de musique sont les meilleurs cours que Normand puisse avoir.
