Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8836

Brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal section through a healthy human brain. The highly folded area across top is the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement. The purple arch beneath it is the corpus callosum, which facilitates communication between the hemispheres. Down centre is the brainstem, which controls automatic functions, sleep and arousal and relays messages from the brain to the spinal cord. At bottom left is the cerebellum (branched), which controls muscle coordination and balance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a normal human brain, providing us with an intricate view of its complex structures and functions. Set against a striking black background, the image reveals a sagittal section through the brain, offering valuable insights into its anatomy. At the top of the image lies the highly folded cerebrum, which plays a crucial role in conscious thought, emotion, and voluntary movement. Just beneath it is the purple arch known as the corpus callosum, responsible for facilitating communication between different hemispheres of the brain. Moving down towards the center, we encounter the brainstem – an essential component that controls automatic functions like sleep and arousal while relaying messages from the brain to our spinal cord. Finally, at bottom left corner rests another vital structure called cerebellum; this branched region governs muscle coordination and balance. By capturing these detailed sections of our central nervous system (CNS), this photograph offers invaluable information for medical professionals involved in diagnosis and neurology research. It highlights various regions such as telencephalon and diencephalon within our encephalon - shedding light on their significance in understanding neurological disorders. Overall, this stunning visual representation serves as a reminder of both our biological complexity and resilience as humans.
