Brain. Computer artwork of a human brain (side view). The front of the brain is at left. The brain is the nerve centre that controls bodily functions and thought. The major part of the brain is the forebrain, which consists mostly of the cerebrum, the largest and most developed part of the brain. The cerebrum is responsible for intelligent thought, language, conscious movement and memory. The more primitive parts of the brain operate automatic or subconscious responses. They are the brainstem (protrusion at base of brain), which controls physiological functions such as breathing, and the cerebellum (small area at right of brainstem), which controls balance and posture

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty and complexity of the human brain. With its folded, wrinkled surface, this side view of the brain reveals the nerve center that governs both our bodily functions and thoughts. At the forefront lies the forebrain, predominantly composed of the cerebrum - an exceptionally developed region responsible for intelligent thought, language, conscious movement, and memory. While this cerebral powerhouse handles higher cognitive processes, more primitive parts of our brain operate in a subconscious or automatic manner. The brainstem protrudes at the base of this extraordinary organ and controls essential physiological functions like breathing. Adjacent to it is the cerebellum - a small area that maintains balance and posture. Symbolizing our biological essence, this computer artwork serves as a reminder of how intricately connected we are to our own minds. It represents not only an anatomical marvel but also embodies concepts such as consciousness, cognition, and neural networks. As captured by Science Photo Library's skilled lensmen or women (not mentioned), this image invites us to contemplate our own humanity while appreciating science's ability to unravel nature's most enigmatic creations. Let it serve as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic interpretation intertwining harmoniously in their quest to understand what makes us uniquely human.
