Ontogenetic change and geographical variation of atlas bridging in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)
2006
Anthropological Science
Atlas bridging represents the formation of a bony bridge over the vertebral artery groove of the first cervical vertebra. There are two kinds of bridging, the 'posterior bridge' and the 'lateral bridge'. Such bridges may occur together or separately, and bilaterally or unilaterally.

A total of 193 skeletal specimens of
