Coloured MRI scan of the human head (side view)
Brain scan. Coloured Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan through a human head, showing a healthy brain in side view. The face is seen in profile at left. Tissues of the mouth, nasal cavity, and central nervous system are visible. The folded cerebrum of the brain (at top) makes up the larger part of the brain; intelligent thought processes, memory and conscious movement are processed in the cerebrum. At centre (orange) is the elongated brainstem which controls involuntary reflexes like breathing and eye reflexes; it connects with the spinal cord. To the right of the brainstem is the cerebellum (tree-like) which is involved in body posture, balance and the coordination of movement

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured MRI scan of the human head, providing an intricate side view of a healthy brain. The image beautifully captures the complexity and wonder of our most vital organ. On the left, we catch a glimpse of the profiled face, while various tissues within the mouth, nasal cavity, and central nervous system are also visible. The focal point lies at the top with the folded cerebrum, which constitutes a significant portion of the brain. It is here that intelligent thought processes, memory retention, and conscious movement are processed. Moving towards the center in vibrant orange hues, we encounter an elongated brainstem responsible for controlling involuntary reflexes such as breathing and eye movements; it serves as a vital link to our spinal cord. To its right stands the cerebellum resembling a magnificent tree-like structure. This remarkable component plays an essential role in maintaining body posture, balance control, and coordinating fluid movement throughout our bodies. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this mesmerizing snapshot of human anatomy through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Through this stunning visual representation, we gain insight into both our physical makeup and how different regions within our brains contribute to various cognitive functions.
