Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8848
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 brown 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 components that make up this remarkable organ. A sagittal section through a patient's head reveals the cerebrum, an area responsible for conscious thought, emotion, and voluntary movement. Its highly folded structure is a testament to its complexity. Beneath the cerebrum lies the corpus callosum, depicted as a dark brown arch. This vital structure facilitates communication between the brain's hemispheres, allowing them to work together seamlessly. Moving towards the bottom right of the image, we encounter the brainstem - an essential region controlling automatic functions like sleep and arousal while relaying messages from the brain to our spinal cord. To its left stands another crucial component: the cerebellum with its branched appearance. This part of our brain governs muscle coordination and balance, enabling us to move with precision and grace. The black background accentuates every detail of this extraordinary photograph, emphasizing both its scientific significance and aesthetic appeal. As we delve into this visual representation of human biology and neurology, it becomes clear how each section plays a unique role in maintaining our overall well-being. Captured by DU CANE MEDICAL IMAGING LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print offers an insightful glimpse into one of nature's most fascinating creations –the human brain– reminding us just how incredible our bodies truly are.
