Vision and the brain, MRI scan
Vision and the brain. Coloured Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan of an axial section through the head of a 55 year old man, showing the eyes, optic nerves and brain. Bones of the nose are at upper centre. The eyes (purple circular structures) reveal eye muscles around them and a long optic nerve which extends from each eye towards the brain. At lower centre is the optic chiasma (X shape), where the optic nerve from the left visual field goes to the right hemisphere of the brain, and vice versa. The folded cerebrum of the brain is pink (at lower frame). MRI scanning uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to produce " slices" through the body to reveal human anatomy in great detail

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate connection between vision and the brain. In this coloured Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, we delve into an axial section through the head of a 55-year-old man, revealing a remarkable display of human anatomy. The eyes take center stage as vibrant purple circular structures, surrounded by eye muscles that enable movement and control. From each eye emerges a long optic nerve, extending towards the brain in perfect harmony. At the lower center of this image lies the optic chiasma, resembling an elegant X shape. It serves as a crucial junction where information from the left visual field is transmitted to the right hemisphere of our extraordinary brains and vice versa. The folded cerebrum steals attention with its delicate pink hue at the lower frame. This vital part of our cerebral structure plays a pivotal role in processing sensory information related to sight and perception. Utilizing advanced MRI scanning techniques, this powerful magnetic field combined with radio waves has allowed us to capture slices through this gentleman's cranial cavity with unparalleled detail. As we explore further into this mesmerizing composition, we also catch glimpses of nasal conchae bones at upper center - reminding us that every aspect within our bodies is interconnected. This awe-inspiring photograph not only highlights normal physiology but also emphasizes how intricate and complex our optical system truly is – an exquisite masterpiece crafted by nature itself.
