Healthy brain, MRI scan
Healthy brain, coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The brain is seen in profile. The nose is at far right, and behind it are the sinuses (dark), air spaces in the skull. These meet the air spaces at the back of the mouth at lower centre, and continue down to the lungs (not seen). The blocks of the vertebrae in the neck are seen down centre. The white semicircle in the centre of the brain is the corpus callosum, a structure made up of nerve fibres that links the two cerebral hemispheres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a healthy brain, as revealed through a coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The image presents the brain in profile, with its remarkable details coming to life. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the nose positioned at the far right, followed by the dark sinuses - air spaces within the skull. These interconnected air spaces extend towards the back of the mouth and continue down into unseen lungs. Intriguingly, running down the center are visible blocks representing vertebrae in the neck region. However, it is undoubtedly impossible to overlook the striking white semicircle situated at the heart of this cerebral masterpiece – known as corpus callosum. Composed of nerve fibers, this structure serves as an essential link between both cerebral hemispheres. The photograph not only highlights nature's incredible design but also emphasizes our profound understanding of human biology and anatomy. It symbolizes intelligence and represents a normal functioning organ that plays a pivotal role in our thoughts and actions. With its vibrant blue hues contrasting against various shades of gray, this image captures both scientific precision and artistic allure simultaneously. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only their own complex nervous system but also marvel at how medical advancements like MRI scanning have revolutionized our ability to explore and comprehend such wonders hidden within us all.
