Brain anatomy
Brain anatomy. Computer artwork of strands of nerve cells (neurons) in front of an exploded view of the brain seen from behind. The two hemispheres of the cerebrum (the main, outer brain layer) have been pulled to either side (orange, lower right and upper left). This has revealed the primitive systems deep within the brain. The limbic system (pink) controls instinct and moods such as fear, rage, pleasure and the sex urge. Towards the rear and base of the brain is the cerebellum (green), which controls functions like balance, posture and muscle co-ordination. Below this (actually linked to the limbic system) is the brainstem

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of brain anatomy. In this computer artwork, strands of nerve cells, known as neurons, are depicted in front of an exploded view of the brain seen from behind. The two hemispheres of the cerebrum have been gently pulled apart to reveal the primitive systems deep within. The vibrant orange hues on the lower right and upper left represent the exposed hemispheres, while a delicate pink shade highlights the limbic system responsible for controlling our instincts and emotions such as fear, rage, pleasure, and desire. As we move towards the rear and base of the brain, a soothing green color signifies the presence of cerebellum - a vital component that regulates balance, posture, and muscle coordination. Beneath these structures lies another essential part called the brainstem which is intricately linked to both limbic system functions and overall neurological processes. This illustration not only offers insight into normal brain anatomy but also provides a glimpse into its complex biological workings. Through this stunning visual representation created by Science Photo Library's talented artists using computer artwork techniques, viewers can appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and gain a deeper understanding of our most remarkable organ -the human brain.
