Repeated-measures analysis of variance of the horizontal spontaneous nystagmus, posture recovery and equilibrium function recovery. Group (treated unilateral vestibular neurectomized cats versus untreated unilateral vestibular neurectomized cats), and survival period are the main fixed effects providing the sources of variation among cats, as also illustrated by the significant interaction between these two variables
