Artwork of meninges & bacteria showing meningitis Artwork of meninges & bacteria showing meningitis

Meningitis. Artwork of a section through the meninges of the brain with an inset picture of Neisseria meningitidis, a cause of meningitis. The meninges are the three membranes that cover and protect the brain (grey, far right) and spinal cord (not seen). The outermost membrane is the tough dura mater (mauve) which lines the inside of the skull (brown). To the inside (right) of this layer are the arachnoid and pia mater layers (blue). Between these layers flows the cerebrospinal fluid (yellow). Inflammation of the meninges (meningitis) occurs due to infection. Bacterial meningitis is most commonly due to infection with Neisseria meningitidis (inset)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate details of the meninges, the protective membranes that envelop and safeguard our brain and spinal cord. The image depicts a section through these layers, with an inset picture highlighting Neisseria meningitidis, a bacterium responsible for causing meningitis. The outermost membrane, known as dura mater, is depicted in a striking mauve shade and lines the inside of the skull. Adjacent to it are the arachnoid and pia mater layers portrayed in mesmerizing blue hues. Flowing between these layers is cerebrospinal fluid represented by a vibrant yellow color. Meningitis, an inflammation of these crucial membranes, arises due to infection. Bacterial meningitis most commonly occurs when Neisseria meningitidis infects this delicate system. This microscopic organism takes center stage in the inset picture within this artwork. Through its meticulous attention to detail and vivid colors, this print not only serves as an aesthetic masterpiece but also educates viewers about this serious medical condition. It underscores how infections can disrupt our body's defense mechanisms even at such minute levels. Created by Science Photo Library, this thought-provoking piece offers insight into both artistry and science while shedding light on important aspects of human health care.
