Coloured X-ray of human skull, brain superimposed
Human skull with brain. Coloured computer-enhanced X-ray of the human skull in side view, with a healthy brain superimposed on it. The brain fits tightly into the skull and is protected within the surrounding bones of the cranium. At centre left is the facial and jaw region; dental fillings are seen in some molar teeth. The skull is supported by seven cervical vertebrae of the neck. Most of the brain seen here is the folded cerebrum of the left hemisphere; memory and higher conscious thought processes occur in the cerebrum with coordination of voluntary body activity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured X-ray of the human skull, with an awe-inspiring twist. The image features a side view of the skull, highlighting its intricate structure and the brain that lies within. Through computer-enhancement, a healthy brain is superimposed on top of the skull, creating a mesmerizing visual representation. The brain fits snugly into the protective confines of the cranium, surrounded by sturdy bones that safeguard this vital organ. At the left center of the image, we can observe the facial and jaw region, where dental fillings are visible in some molar teeth. This serves as a reminder of our oral health's connection to our overall well-being. Supporting this remarkable structure are seven cervical vertebrae located in our necks. However, it is truly fascinating to note that most prominently displayed here is the folded cerebrum of the left hemisphere – responsible for memory retention and higher conscious thought processes. It is within these convolutions that coordination for voluntary body activity takes place. This extraordinary photograph from Science Photo Library offers us an intriguing glimpse into both anatomy and brain function simultaneously. Its detailed cut-out presentation allows us to appreciate every aspect while marveling at how intricately interconnected our bodies truly are.
