Brain anatomy, MRI scan

Brain anatomy. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the human head from the side. The sagittal scan has halved the brain, revealing the internal anatomy. The brains major area (across top and at the rear) is the cerebrum. This includes the folds of the outer layer (cerebral cortex) that produces memory, language and conscious movement. The brainstem (centre), at the base of the brain, runs down and connects to the spinal cord in the neck. It controls subconscious functions like breathing. The cerebellum (round area, right of the brainstem) controls balance, as well as muscle co-ordination. Skull, neck and face structures are also seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and complex anatomy of the human brain. Taken from a side view, this coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan reveals the internal structures of the brain in remarkable detail. The sagittal scan has halved the brain, allowing us to explore its inner workings. At first glance, we can observe that the cerebrum dominates most of the image. This vital region encompasses both the top and rear portions of the brain and is responsible for crucial functions such as memory formation, language processing, and conscious movement control. Its outer layer, known as the cerebral cortex, exhibits numerous folds that enhance its surface area. Moving towards the center of this mesmerizing image lies another significant component –the brainstem. Situated at the base of our brains, it serves as a connection between our central nervous system and spinal cord located in our necks. Remarkably enough, this small but mighty structure controls subconscious activities like breathing. To further enrich our understanding of this incredible organ's complexity, we notice an adjacent round area called the cerebellum on its right side. Responsible for maintaining balance and coordinating muscle movements with precision, it plays a critical role in ensuring smooth bodily motions. As we delve deeper into this fascinating visual representation captured by Science Photo Library's skilled photographers using MRI technology, we also catch glimpses of surrounding structures such as skull features along with sections highlighting face and neck anatomy. In summary, this stunning print offers us a glimpse into one of nature's greatest marvels –the human brain– reminding us just how intricately designed our bodies are at every level.
