Artwork: brain frontal areas that control the body
Brain-body control. Illustration of a section through the cortex of the frontal lobe, showing brain areas that control voluntary movements in parts of the body. An outline of the surface of the cerebral cortex is shown (blue). Areas of the brain are demarcated beside body parts that they control. At upper left, the paracentral lobule is associated with toes and lower limb. Clockwise, the trunk, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand and fingers. Parts of the face include eye, lips and jaw. Tongue and swallowing at lower right. The skill to move and control these body areas is proportional to the amount of brain area involved

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Artwork: Brain-Body Control" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate relationship between our brains and bodies. The illustration showcases a section through the cortex of the frontal lobe, revealing specific brain areas responsible for controlling voluntary movements in various parts of our body. The cerebral cortex's surface is outlined in a striking blue hue, serving as a visual guide to demarcate different regions associated with specific body parts. Starting from the upper left corner, we see that the paracentral lobule governs movement and sensation in our toes and lower limbs. Moving clockwise, we encounter areas dedicated to controlling our trunk, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, fingers, eyes, lips, jaw - even tongue movement and swallowing find their place at the lower right corner. What makes this artwork truly fascinating is its depiction of how skillful control over these body areas corresponds to the amount of brain area involved. It highlights how intricately interconnected our central nervous system is when it comes to executing precise movements. As an art piece rooted in scientific understanding and anatomical exploration by Science Photo Library – not affiliated with any commercial use – this print serves as both an aesthetic delight and educational tool. It invites us to marvel at the complexity of human anatomy while deepening our appreciation for how effortlessly we navigate through everyday tasks thanks to these remarkable brain-body connections.
