Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8837
Brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal section through a healthy human brain. The highly folded area (orange) is the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement. The dark arch beneath it is the corpus callosum, which facilitates communication between the hemispheres. Down centre is the brainstem (brown), which controls automatic functions, sleep and arousal and relays messages from the brain to the spinal cord. At bottom left is the cerebellum (yellow)), which controls muscle coordination and balance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a normal human brain in all its intricate glory. The vivid colors and detailed imaging provide a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of our most complex organ. The focal point of this image is the highly folded cerebrum, depicted in vibrant orange hues. This region is responsible for conscious thought, emotion, and voluntary movement - the very essence of what makes us human. Just below it lies the corpus callosum, a dark arch that serves as a bridge between the brain's hemispheres, facilitating seamless communication. Moving down the center of the image, we encounter the brainstem in rich brown tones. This vital structure controls automatic functions like breathing and heart rate while also playing a role in sleep regulation and relaying messages from the brain to the spinal cord. At bottom left, we find another distinct area known as the cerebellum portrayed in sunny yellow shades. This part of our brain governs muscle coordination and balance - an essential component for smooth movements. Overall, this mesmerizing photograph offers an intimate look at one of nature's wonders: our own brains. Its striking visual appeal combined with its scientific significance make it an ideal addition to any collection exploring biology, anatomy or neurology.
