Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8847
Brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal section through a patients head showing a healthy human brain. The highly folded area is the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement. The dark blue arch beneath it is the corpus callosum, which facilitates communication between the hemispheres. At bottom right of the brain is the brainstem, which controls automatic functions, sleep and arousal and relays messages from the brain to the spinal cord (bottom centre). To its left is the cerebellum (branched), which controls muscle coordination and balance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a normal human brain in all its intricate glory. The vibrant colors of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan bring to life the various components that make up this remarkable organ. A sagittal section through a patient's head reveals the cerebrum, an area responsible for conscious thought, emotion, and voluntary movement. Its highly folded structure is a testament to its complexity. Beneath the cerebrum lies the corpus callosum, depicted as a dark blue arch. This vital structure facilitates communication between the brain's hemispheres, allowing for seamless coordination and integration of information. At the bottom right of the image rests the brainstem, which governs automatic functions like sleep and arousal while relaying messages from the brain to the spinal cord at its center. To its left sits another crucial component -the cerebellum with its branched appearance- controlling muscle coordination and balance. The photograph not only highlights these key regions but also emphasizes their significance within our central nervous system (CNS). It serves as a visual reminder of how each part contributes to our overall well-being and functioning. With a black background enhancing every detail, this stunning image captures both scientific precision and artistic beauty. It invites us to marvel at one of nature's most extraordinary creations –the human brain– while deepening our understanding of its anatomy and function.
