Brain scans

Brain scans. Sagittal (sideways) scan through the head, revealing the brain structure. The front of the head is at left. The scan shows the convoluted folds of the outer region, an area that is called the cerebral cortex. This area produces memory and conscious thought. The scan has passed through the centre of the brain, revealing an area (red) inside the brain. This is the area that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. An arrow (centre left) shows a space between the front of the brain and the skull

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sagittal brain scan, offering an intriguing glimpse into the intricate structure of our most complex organ. The image begins with the front of the head on the left side, allowing us to observe the convoluted folds that make up the cerebral cortex – a crucial region responsible for memory and conscious thought. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing scan, we encounter a vibrant red area nestled within the brain's core. This remarkable section serves as a vital connection between both hemispheres. The photograph also draws attention to an arrow positioned towards the center-left, highlighting a space between the frontal part of the brain and its protective skull. With its rich colors and detailed anatomy, this image provides valuable insights into normal human neurology. Radiating with health and vitality, this print from Science Photo Library captures not only our fascination with understanding how our brains work but also emphasizes their fundamental role in shaping who we are. It invites contemplation about our central nervous system's complexity while celebrating its beauty through radiography techniques.
