Brain and spinal cord
Brain. Computer artwork of a side view of a healthy human brain. At centre is one of the hemispheres of the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement. At the centre of the cerebrum is one of the temporal lobes, which is involved in visual processing, hearing, speech and memory. At the base of the brain is the cerebellum, which controls voluntary muscular movement and maintains posture and balance. The brainstem, which controls subconscious functions such as breathing and the regulation of heart rate, connects the brain to the spinal cord (orange)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the human brain and spinal cord. Through computer artwork, a side view of a healthy brain is depicted, highlighting its remarkable complexity. At the center lies one hemisphere of the cerebrum, responsible for conscious thought, emotions, and voluntary movement. The temporal lobe within this hemisphere plays a crucial role in visual processing, hearing, speech, and memory. Beneath the cerebrum rests the cerebellum—a small yet mighty structure that governs voluntary muscular movements while maintaining posture and balance. Connecting the brain to the spinal cord is the brainstem; it serves as an essential control center for subconscious functions like breathing and heart rate regulation. This illustration not only offers insight into our biological makeup but also emphasizes how integral these components are to our overall well-being. As we delve into neurology and explore our central nervous system's wonders through this image's lens, we gain a deeper appreciation for both science and ourselves. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this snapshot of human anatomy—showcasing its expertise in delivering visually stunning representations of scientific subjects. This particular piece provides an educational resource that sparks curiosity about our own bodies' inner workings without mentioning any commercial use intentions or affiliations with companies.
