Coronal slice through a healthy human brain

Human brain. Vertical slice through a healthy brain, sectioned coronally from left to right. This cut in the middle of the brain exposes major anatomical regions. Extensive convolutions of the cerebrum are seen at top and sides, where higher conscious thought processes occur with voluntary body activity. The cerebrum comprises most of the brain and is made up of outer grey and inner white matter. Inner cavities or ventricles of the brain (upper centre) are normally fluid-filled. Tracts of nerve fibres pass into the brainstem (lower centre) which controls basic functions such as breathing, and is linked to the spinal cord. An adult human brain weighs about 1400 grams

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coronal slice through a healthy human brain, providing us with an extraordinary glimpse into the intricate workings of our most complex organ. The vertical cut reveals the various major anatomical regions that make up this remarkable structure. At the top and sides of the image, we can observe extensive convolutions of the cerebrum, which play a vital role in higher conscious thought processes and voluntary body activity. Comprising most of the brain, this outer grey and inner white matter is responsible for our cognitive abilities. Intriguingly, at the upper center of the photograph, we are introduced to the inner cavities or ventricles of the brain. Normally filled with fluid, these ventricles contribute to maintaining proper cerebral function. Moving towards lower center stage in this visual masterpiece, tracts of nerve fibers become visible as they pass into the brainstem. This crucial region controls fundamental bodily functions such as breathing and is intricately linked to our spinal cord. It is awe-inspiring to consider that an adult human brain weighs approximately 1400 grams – a testament to its significance within our central nervous system (CNS). Through this stunning depiction from Science Photo Library's collection on brain anatomy viewed coronally, we gain insight into both its normalcy and complexity. Let it serve as a reminder of just how remarkable our brains truly are.
