Artworks showing the limbic system of the brain
Limbic system. Four coloured illustrations of the human brain highlighting structures of the limbic system. The limbic system governs activities such as fear, rage, pleasure, reproduction and self- preservation. The oval structure of each image is the thalamus. Above this is the large C- shaped corpus callosum. Around this are the folded convolutions of the cerebrum, the most highly developed part of the brain involved in conscious thought. At lower right of each image is the cerebellum, part of the hind-brain which coordinates muscle action and body posture. These illustrations are in " Andy Warhol" style

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a series of artworks that beautifully depict the intricate structures of the limbic system in the human brain. The four coloured illustrations are presented in an Andy Warhol style, adding a unique artistic touch to this scientific representation. The focal point of each image is the oval-shaped thalamus, which serves as a crucial hub for relaying sensory information throughout the brain. Positioned above it is the prominent C-shaped corpus callosum, responsible for connecting and facilitating communication between the brain's two hemispheres. Surrounding these central structures are intricately folded convolutions representing the cerebrum, known as the seat of conscious thought and higher cognitive functions. It is fascinating to witness how this part of our brain plays a vital role in governing various activities such as fear, rage, pleasure, reproduction, and self-preservation. At lower right corners of each illustration lies another significant component - the cerebellum. As part of the hind-brain, it coordinates muscle action and body posture with remarkable precision. Through this artwork inspired by Andy Warhol's iconic style, we gain both aesthetic pleasure and valuable insights into our own neural architecture. This fusion between art and science allows us to appreciate not only our complex anatomy but also its profound influence on our emotions and behaviors.
