Brain anatomy, diagram
Brain anatomy. Diagram of the underside (ventral aspect) of the brain, showing the anatomical structure of the various components. At the rear of the brain is the cerebellum (grey with black lines), split between the two hemispheres of the brain. Also split between the hemispheres are the temporal lobes (red), and the frontal lobes (top). The folds in the lobes are called gyri. Descending from the frontal part of the brain are the olfactory bulbs and optic nerves (blue, top). Also blue, but lower down, are the cranial nerves. The darker grey areas down centre are (top to bottom) the hypophysis, the pons, and the spinal bulb. Right at bottom is the spinal cord

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and fascinating world of brain anatomy. The diagram provides a detailed view of the underside, or ventral aspect, of the brain, revealing its complex anatomical structure. At the rear of the brain lies the cerebellum, depicted in grey with black lines, which is divided between the two hemispheres. The temporal lobes are shown in striking red and also split between these hemispheres. Above them are the frontal lobes, responsible for higher cognitive functions. The folds seen throughout the lobes are known as gyri and add to the brain's surface area. Descending from the frontal part of this remarkable organ are both olfactory bulbs and optic nerves, represented by shades of blue at different levels. Further down in darker grey areas lie essential components such as the hypophysis (pituitary gland), pons (part of brainstem), and spinal bulb. Finally, at bottom center stage is none other than our vital spinal cord. This illustration beautifully captures not only an artistic representation but also a scientific exploration into human biology and neurology. It highlights how interconnected our central nervous system truly is while showcasing key elements like cranial nerves that play crucial roles in our daily lives. Science Photo Library continues to provide awe-inspiring visuals that merge artistry with scientific knowledge to deepen our understanding of ourselves and our incredible bodies.
