F / col MRI mid-sagittsal scan of normal brain
Pair of false-colour Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of mid-sagittal sections through the head of a normal 42 year-old woman, arranged face-to-face. Profiled features of the main part of the brain include the convoluted surface of the cerebral cortex & the corpus callosum, the curved band of nervous tissue at the centre of the brain (blue on right image) that connects the two cerebral hemispheres. Beneath the corpus callosum are the pons & medulla, the structures of the brainstem, which are continuous with the spinal cord (gold, both images). The cerebellum, the centre of balance & coordination, appears to the rear of the brainstem. Left image: P332/130, Right image: P332/140

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of false-colour Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) capturing mid-sagittal sections through the head of a healthy 42-year-old woman. The images are arranged face-to-face, providing an intricate profile view of the brain's main features. The convoluted surface of the cerebral cortex takes center stage, displaying its remarkable complexity and importance in cognitive functions. Adjacent to it lies the corpus callosum, a curved band of nervous tissue that connects both cerebral hemispheres. In this image, it is highlighted in blue on the right side. Beneath the corpus callosum, we can observe two significant structures: the pons and medulla. These components belong to the brainstem and seamlessly extend into the spinal cord, playing crucial roles in various bodily functions. To the rear of these structures lies another vital component known as the cerebellum. This region serves as a control center for balance and coordination, ensuring smooth movements and motor skills. The detailed visualization provided by this MRI scan offers valuable insights into human anatomy and communication within our nervous system. It highlights not only our incredible biological complexity but also demonstrates how advanced imaging techniques like MRI contribute to our understanding of ourselves at a deeper level.
