Human brain, occipital lobe
Brain, temporal lobe. Computer artwork of a human brain in profile within a glass-effect male head, showing the location of the temporal lobe (red). The temporal lobe is part of the cerebral cortex and is concerned with olfaction and language. It also controls some emotional behaviours such as anger and sexual behaviour. The cerebral cortex is rich in nerve cells and is folded into gyri. The brainstem (bottom centre of the brain) sub- consciously controls the bodys vital functions, including breathing and blood pressure. The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. The cerebellum (lower left of brain) controls muscular coordination, balance and posture

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and complex structure of the human brain, specifically highlighting the occipital lobe and temporal lobe. Created using computer artwork, a glass-effect male head serves as a transparent surface for this stunning illustration. The red-colored area represents the location of the temporal lobe within the cerebral cortex. This region plays crucial roles in olfaction, language processing, emotional behaviors like anger and sexual behavior. The cerebral cortex itself is a hub of nerve cells that are folded into gyri, enhancing its capacity to process information. Situated at the bottom center of the brain is the brainstem, responsible for subconsciously controlling vital bodily functions such as breathing and blood pressure. It acts as a connection between our brain and spinal cord. On one side of this remarkable image lies another significant component - the cerebellum. Located in the lower left portion of our brain, it governs muscular coordination, balance, and posture. This thought-provoking artwork not only provides us with an insight into our biological makeup but also emphasizes key aspects related to neurology and cognitive function. With its detailed representation of various lobes including frontal lobe reasoning alongside other elements like folds and gyrus patterns found throughout our brains' hemispheres; it offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both beauty and complexity inherent in human anatomy.
