Brains eye nerves, artwork
Brains eye nerves. Artwork of the human brain (orange) and skull (purple) from above, coloured to show the optic nerves (green) and neural pathways. The front of the head is at left. The optic nerves travel from the back of each eye to the rear of the brain, where most of the neural vision processing takes place. This area of the brain is called the visual cortex (light green) and is located in the occipital lobe. The optic nerves branch out and terminate on the opposite side of the brain to the eye that they originate from, crossing at a place called the optic chiasma. This crossing allows the images from both eyes to be combined

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Brains Eye Nerves" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate workings of the human brain and its connection to vision. The print showcases an orange depiction of the brain and a purple skull, providing a striking contrast that immediately draws attention. Colored in vibrant green, the optic nerves are prominently displayed, elegantly illustrating their path from each eye to the rear of the brain. The visual cortex, located in the occipital lobe and depicted in light green hues, takes center stage as it represents the vital region where neural vision processing occurs. A fascinating aspect revealed by this artwork is how these optic nerves branch out and cross over at a point known as the optic chiasma. This unique arrangement allows for images captured by both eyes to be seamlessly combined. The precision and detail captured within this illustration not only showcase its artistic value but also highlight its scientific significance. It serves as a reminder of our complex anatomy while emphasizing how our sensory perception relies on these delicate neural pathways. With elements such as bones, cut-outs, and anatomical accuracy expertly incorporated into this piece, "Brains Eye Nerves" stands as an exceptional representation of biology's wonders. As viewers engage with this print from Science Photo Library, they are invited to marvel at both our incredible organ systems and their role in facilitating healthy visual processing within our central nervous system.
