Normal human brain, MRI scan C016 / 8843
Brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal section through a healthy human brain. The highly folded area (brown) is the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement. The bright 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). To its 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. The sagittal section reveals the cerebrum, depicted in a highly folded area and responsible for conscious thought, emotion, and voluntary movement. Just beneath it lies the bright arch known as the corpus callosum, facilitating communication between the brain's hemispheres. Moving towards the bottom right corner of this remarkable image, we encounter the brainstem - a vital region controlling automatic functions like sleep and arousal while relaying messages from the brain to the spinal cord below. Adjacent to it is another noteworthy component called the cerebellum, characterized by its branched appearance. This particular structure plays a crucial role in muscle coordination and balance. The white background accentuates every detail of this biological masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate both its beauty and complexity. As we delve into neurology and anatomy through this photograph, we gain insight into how different sections of our central nervous system work together harmoniously to ensure our body functions seamlessly. Captured by DU CANE MEDICAL IMAGING LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning print serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals seeking diagnostic information or individuals fascinated by understanding their own biology at a deeper level.
