We don't have much going-on at work today so - early poast: centrifugal mitigation of microgravity. It works on mice!
Mice are small and have a brain around the same level as the rest of the body. Not so much, for us bipedals in trucker-cabins. But in proper habitats we should be using wide-radius dumbbells and wheel-pairs. Such won't sweat Coriolis-differences from head-to-toe. Also when lying down, particularly in longterm shuttles meant for hibernation, Coriolis is likely not to be a thing at all.
Overall very little of this study surprises me.
Different "Thing", then, for those of us hibernating: how does rotation, especially swift rotation along a wide axis, affect body fluids in a corpus at rest for long periods under low blood circulation? Commenter "Doubting Thomas" brings up the ear; "pzatchok" talks spinal-fluid.
As "pawn" notes, we're in need of that trucker-cabin rated for humans, at rest or otherwise.
