Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8850

Brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal section through a patients head showing a healthy human brain. The highly folded area (pink) is the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement. The yellow 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, providing us with a fascinating glimpse into the intricate workings of our most vital organ. Taken using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this coloured scan reveals a sagittal section through a patient's head, highlighting the various regions and functions of the brain. The pink area that dominates the image represents the cerebrum, responsible for conscious thought, emotion, and voluntary movement. Its highly folded structure emphasizes its complexity and importance in our daily lives. Just below it lies the yellow arch known as the corpus callosum, which acts as a bridge between both hemispheres of the brain to facilitate communication. At the bottom right corner of this remarkable image is the brainstem – an essential component controlling automatic functions like sleep and arousal while relaying messages from the brain to our spinal cord at its center. To its left stands another crucial region called cerebellum; its branched appearance signifies its role in coordinating muscle movements and maintaining balance. This photograph not only captures an anatomically accurate representation but also serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected these structures are within our central nervous system. It offers valuable insights into neurology and diagnostics while showcasing both beauty and functionality simultaneously.
