Both conditions are characterized by increased proximity of the cranial cervical spine to the base of the skull [25]; however a defining characteristic of human basilar invagination is invagination of the odontoid process of the axis through or towards the foramen magnum, often with compression
of the neural tissue by the dens [25].

of the RNA binding protein Elav is achieved
by post-transcriptional repression in non-
neural tissues.
Holding static stretches for at least 60 seconds will target contractile muscle
tissue and allow more

neural response to
tissues due to increased circulation, thereby stimulating a recovery response
by the parasympathetic nervous system.
