“…The spinal nerve at all levels is associated with the caudal area of the sclerotome. 3 After fusion, the spinal nerves remain between them. In the present study we found that the fifth lumbar vertebra had developed in two separate parts.…”

“…Wax plates were cut faithfully as the enlarged image of each section, and the wax plates were piled up for making the 3D embryonic structures. These reconstructed models allowed for the production of accurate drawings of human embryos, some of the most notable being those of James F. Didusch, a medical artist who added valuable information to the understanding of human prenatal development (O'Rahilly, 1988). However, both solid reconstruction and fine drawings used in classical embryology are time-consuming and require specific and rare skills.…”

“…washingtondc.museum/collections/ hdac/index.htm). Based on those reconstructed models, numerous accurate drawings of human embryos were produced by skillful artists, including James F. Didusch, which added greatly to the value of the Carnegie Collection and provided detailed 3D information on developing human embryos (O'Rahilly, 1988). Thus, solid reconstruction from serial sections and fine drawings based on the reconstructed models were used as essential methods in classic embryology.…”

Morphogenesis in the developing embryo takes place in three dimensions, and in addition, the dimension of time is another important factor in development. Therefore, the presentation of sequential morphological changes occurring in the embryo (4D visualization) is essential for understanding the complex morphogenetic events and the underlying mechanisms. Until recently, 3D visualization of embryonic structures was possible only by reconstruction from serial histological sections, which was tedious and time-consuming. During the past two decades, 3D imaging techniques have made significant advances thanks to the progress in imaging and computer technologies, computer graphics, and other related techniques. Such novel tools have enabled precise visualization of the 3D topology of embryonic structures and to demonstrate spatiotemporal 4D sequences of organogenesis. Here, we describe a project in which staged human embryos are imaged by the magnetic resonance (MR) microscope, and 3D images of embryos and their organs at each developmental stage were reconstructed based on the MR data, with the aid of computer graphics techniques. On the basis of the 3D models of staged human embryos, we constructed a data set of 3D images of human embryos and made movies to illustrate the sequential process of human morphogenesis. Furthermore, a computer-based self-learning program of human embryology is being developed for educational purposes, using the photographs, histological sections, MR images, and 3D models of staged human embryos.
