Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8849
Brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal section through a patients head showing a healthy human brain. The highly folded area is the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement. The dark red arch beneath it is the corpus callosum, which facilitates communication between the hemispheres. At bottom right of the brain is the brainstem, which controls automatic functions, sleep and arousal and relays messages from the brain to the spinal cord (bottom centre). To its left is the cerebellum (branched), which controls muscle coordination and balance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a normal human brain, giving us a fascinating glimpse into the intricate workings of our most vital organ. Taken using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this coloured scan reveals a sagittal section through a patient's head, highlighting the remarkable complexity and functionality of the brain. The cerebrum, depicted as a highly folded area in vibrant hues, takes center stage. This region is responsible for conscious thought, emotions, and voluntary movement - essential aspects of our daily lives. Just beneath it lies the corpus callosum, portrayed in dark red tones. Acting as an information superhighway between the brain's hemispheres, this structure facilitates seamless communication. Moving towards the bottom right corner of the image, we encounter the brainstem - an integral part of our central nervous system. It governs automatic functions like sleep and arousal while relaying messages from the brain to the spinal cord at its center. To its left sits another crucial component: the cerebellum with its branched appearance. This small but mighty region controls muscle coordination and balance. With its black background emphasizing every intricate detail, this photograph provides valuable insights into neurology and anatomy. It serves as a powerful diagnostic tool for medical professionals studying various conditions affecting these regions. Captured by Du Cane Medical Imaging Ltd. , this awe-inspiring print from Science Photo Library invites us to marvel at both our biological makeup and technological advancements that enable us to explore it further.
