Illustration of the limbic system of the brain
Limbic system. Illustration of the anatomical structures of the limbic system of the brain. The limbic system is represented in blue. At centre is the oval-shaped thalamus; at centre right, beside it are two lobes of the caudate nucleus; around these is the large C-shaped corpus callosum; at lower right are two bulb-like olfactory lobes; the reticular formation is the blue structure which extends into the brainstem (lower left). This complex network of nerve pathways is involved with the expression of instinct and mood. Activities governed by the limbic system include expression of fear, rage, pleasure, reproduction, self- preservation, and formation of memory patterns

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration of the limbic system, a vital component of our brain's anatomy. The limbic system is depicted in a striking shade of blue, drawing attention to its significance in regulating various instinctual and emotional processes within us. At the center of this artistic representation lies the oval-shaped thalamus, serving as a pivotal hub for sensory information processing. Adjacent to it on the right side are two lobes of the caudate nucleus, contributing to motor control and reward-based learning. Encircling these structures is the large C-shaped corpus callosum, facilitating communication between both hemispheres of our brain. Towards the lower right corner, we observe two bulb-like olfactory lobes responsible for our sense of smell. Meanwhile, extending into the brainstem on the lower left side is the reticular formation – another crucial element involved in maintaining wakefulness and consciousness. The limbic system plays an integral role in shaping our behavior and experiences by governing emotions such as fear, rage, pleasure, and reproduction. It also contributes significantly to self-preservation instincts while aiding in memory formation. This awe-inspiring artwork not only highlights the complexity but also emphasizes how interconnected nerve pathways within this network enable us to express instinctual drives and regulate mood states effectively.
