Abstract:Knowledge of embryonic body posture as a reflection of neurodevelopment is limited. Here, we investigate embryonic body posture, preference, symmetry, and lateralization during periods of rest using virtual reality (VR) and four‐dimensional (4D) ultrasound techniques to enhance our knowledge of neurodevelopment. It is hypothesized that lateralization and asymmetry in embryonic posture are absent. Embryos from low‐risk pregnancies at 9 weeks gestational age (GA) were analyzed using a 30‐min 4D ultrasound and VR… Show more
