Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8846

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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a normal human brain in all its intricate glory. The vibrant colors of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan bring to life the various sections and functions of this remarkable organ. A sagittal section through a patient's head reveals the highly folded cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion, and voluntary movement. Just beneath it lies the corpus callosum, depicted as a dark red arch, facilitating seamless communication between the brain's hemispheres. At the bottom right corner of the image rests the brainstem - an essential component controlling automatic functions, sleep patterns, arousal levels, and relaying messages from the brain to our spinal cord at its center. Adjacent to it is the branched cerebellum - a vital region governing muscle coordination and balance. This photograph not only highlights anatomical details but also emphasizes how these interconnected structures work harmoniously within our central nervous system (CNS). It serves as an invaluable tool for diagnosis in neurology and provides valuable insights into understanding neurological conditions. With its white background and profile view of this healthy human brain cutout against it, this image captures attention instantly. Produced by DU CANE MEDICAL IMAGING LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY – leaders in medical imagery – this print offers both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal.
