Illustration of the whole brain in the human head
Illustration of the whole brain in the human head. This side view shows the extensive convolutions of the cerebrum (white); with the cerebellum below it, here coloured red. At the base of the brain is the brainstem, consisting of pons and medulla, which is a thickening of the spinal cord. In the neck the cervical vertebrae have been sectioned through (spongy brown); nerves of the spinal cord can be seen which pass to the face and neck

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration of the entire human brain within the confines of a human head. From a side view, we are presented with a mesmerizing display of the convolutions that make up the cerebrum, depicted in striking white hues. Below it lies the vibrant red-colored cerebellum, adding depth and complexity to this artistic representation. At the base of this remarkable organ resides the brainstem, composed of both pons and medulla. Serving as a thickening extension of our spinal cord, it plays a crucial role in connecting various parts of our body to our brain. The artist has also included an intriguing element by sectioning through cervical vertebrae in the neck region. These spongy brown structures provide insight into how nerves from the spinal cord extend towards our face and neck, highlighting their vital function in transmitting information throughout our body. This awe-inspiring artwork not only offers us a glimpse into one of nature's most fascinating creations but also serves as an educational tool for understanding brain anatomy. Its inclusion within Science Photo Library's vast collection further emphasizes its scientific value and contribution to advancing knowledge about our central nervous system (CNS).
