Abstract
The myodural bridge is represented by skeletal muscle fibers attaching to the cervical dura mater. It has been described from a variety of mammals and other amniotes. In this issue of the Journal of Morphology (pp. 123‐133), Grondel and coauthors test an earlier assumption about the presence of the myodural bridge in snakes using histology, computed tomography, and micro‐CT imaging. They find no evidence for a myodural ridge in snakes and discuss the functional implications. The cover image shows a transverse histological section through atlas and axis from Dasypeltis scabra.
