Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8839

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 white 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 (bottom). At bottom left of the brain is the cerebellum (branched), which controls muscle coordination and balance. An electroencephalogram (EEG) trace is also seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a normal human brain. The image provides a sagittal section view, revealing the intricate details and complexity of this vital organ. The cerebrum, located at the top and highly folded, is responsible for conscious thought, emotion, and voluntary movement. Just beneath it lies the corpus callosum, an essential structure that facilitates communication between the brain's hemispheres. Moving down the centre of the image, we encounter the brainstem—a crucial component controlling automatic functions like sleep and arousal while relaying messages from the brain to the spinal cord at its bottom. Positioned at the lower left corner is another significant region known as the cerebellum. This branched structure plays a pivotal role in muscle coordination and balance. Accompanying this remarkable visual representation is an electroencephalogram (EEG) trace—an additional insight into brain activity captured by measuring electrical signals on the scalp. Together with these elements, this photograph offers valuable insights into neurology and diagnostic practices. Presented against a black background with exquisite detail, this profile view allows us to appreciate both external features and internal structures within our brains—highlighting their anatomical significance in maintaining our overall health and well-being.
