Consequently, studying the morphology of the vertebral centrum is of anatomical and clinical importance. Grass carp (GC) is a member of the infraclass Teleostei (teleost fish), which accounts for the majority of all vertebrate species; thus, its vertebral anatomical structure can help us understand vertebrate development and vertebral morphology. In this study, we have investigated the morphology and symmetry of the grass carp vertebral centrum using high\u2010resolution micro\u2010CT scans. To this end, three abdominal vertebrae (V9, V10, &amp; V11) from eight grass carp were micro\u2010CT scanned and then segmented using Dragonfly (ORS Inc.). Grass carp vertebral centrum conformed to the basic teleost pattern and demonstrated an amphicoelous shape (biconcave hourglass). The centrum's cranial endplate was smaller, less circular, and shallower compared to the caudal endplate. While the vertebral centrum demonstrated bilateral symmetry along the sagittal plane (left\/right), the centrum focus was shifted dorsally and cranially, breaking dorsoventral and craniocaudal symmetry. The sum of these findings implies that the caudal aspect of grass carp vertebral centrum is bigger and more robust. Currently, we have no information whether this is due to nature, for example, differences in gene expression, or nurture, for example, environmental effect. As the vertebral parapophyses and spinous processes are slanted caudally, the direction of muscle action during swimming may create a gradient of stresses from cranial to caudal, resulting in a more robust caudal aspect of the vertebral centrum. Expanding our study to include additional quadrupedal and bipedal (i.e., human) vertebrae, as well as testing if these morphological aspects of the vertebrae are indeed plastic and can be affected by environmental factors (i.e., temperature or other stressors) may help answer this question.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/joa.14032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]],"date-time":"2024-02-29T04:49:36Z","timestamp":1709182176000},"page":"84-96","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Morphological examination of abdominal vertebral bodies from grass carp using high\u2010resolution micro\u2010CT scans"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"245","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4953-4380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meir M.","family":"Barak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Long Island University  Brookville New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Schlott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology Winthrop University  Rock Hill South Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Gundersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Long Island University  Brookville New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Diaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Long Island University  Brookville New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vanessa","family":"Rhee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Long Island University  Brookville New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naomi","family":"Villoth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Roslyn High School  Roslyn Heights New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Ferber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanford H.
