Cardiovascular system and brain. Computer artwork showing the blood vessels of the torso, arms, head and neck. Also seen is the brain (yellow)

Neural network, abstract artwork
Neural network. Abstract computer artwork representing nerve cells, or neurons. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS)

Neural network, computer artwork
Neural network. Conceptual computer artwork of a brain, with the brains neural network represented by blue strands in the background. The front of the brain is at right

Myelinated nerves, SEM
Myelinated nerves. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through myelinated nerve fibres and Schwann cells

Glial cells, SEM
Glial cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a glial cell (centre). Glial cells are nervous system cells that provide structural support and protection for neurons (nerve cells)

Norepinephrine neurotransmitter molecule. Computer model showing the structure of the neurotransmitter and hormone norepinephrine, or noradrenaline

Met-enkephalin molecule. Computer model showing the structure of the neurotransmitter met-enkephalin (methionine-enkephalin)

Brain blood supply, confocal micrograph
Brain blood supply. Confocal light micrograph of the superficial vasculature of the cerebral cortex. The blood vessels carry oxygen to the brain tissue and remove carbon dioxide

Electroencephalography, artwork
Electroencephalography. Computer artwork of the top of a head with electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes attached to the scalp. EEG measures and records the electrical activity of the brain

Nerve cells and glial cells, SEM
Nerve cells and glial cells, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The nerve cells have small cell bodies (orange) and fine extensions called axons and dendrites (brown)

Drinks fridge optical illusion, artwork
Drinks fridge optical illusion. Computer artwork of a fridge with what can be seen as either bottles or glasses inside. This image is based on Rubins vase

Glial cell, SEM
Glial cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cultured glial cell (centre). Glial cells are nervous system cells that provide structural support and protection for neurons (nerve cells)

Human brain, artwork
Human brain anatomy. Computer artwork of a persons head showing the brain with the right hemisphere removed. The following regions can be seen: outer cortex (red) somatosensory cortex (lighter)

Human brain anatomy, artwork
Human brain anatomy. Computer artwork of a persons head showing the brain with the right hemisphere removed. The brainstem can be seen (bottom left)

Cingulate gyrus in the brain, artwork
Temporal lobe in the brain. Computer artwork of a persons head showing the left hemisphere of the brain inside. The highlighted area shows the left temporal lobe

Parkinsons disease treatment, artwork
Parkinsons disease treatment. Computer artwork of electrodes, which have been surgically implanted in the brain to treat the tremors caused by Parkinsons disease

Dopamine molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the neurotransmitter and neurohormone dopamine. The atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (red), hydrogen (white)

Stroke, conceptual artwork
Stroke. Conceptual computer artwork of a stroke, showing a cut-away of a human head and a blood vessel bursting in the brain. A stroke is also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
