Aged brain
Aged brain, conceptual image. The front of the brain is on the left. The cerebrum (top left) is the largest and most developed part of the brain. It is responsible for intelligent thought, language, consicous movement and memory. The cerebellum (at the back of the cerebrum) co- ordinates muscles and balance, while the brainstem (left of the cerebellum) controls subconscious automatic functions, such as breathing. Over time, the brains structure and function alters and the brain becomes more susceptible to damage and injury

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aged Brain" offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the intricate workings of our most vital organ. The image showcases the brain's anatomy, with the front positioned on the left side. At first glance, one cannot help but be struck by the sheer complexity and beauty of this remarkable organ. The cerebrum, occupying the top left portion, stands out as the largest and most developed part of the brain. It is responsible for our intelligent thoughts, language skills, conscious movements, and cherished memories. Adjacent to it lies the cerebellum which plays a crucial role in coordinating muscles and maintaining balance. Moving further back towards the left side is where we find an essential component known as the brainstem. This region controls automatic functions that occur without our conscious effort - such as breathing - ensuring our survival. However, what truly captivates about this image is its underlying message about aging and vulnerability. Over time, both structure and function within our brains undergo changes that render them more susceptible to damage or injury. This visual representation serves as a reminder of how precious yet fragile this incredible organ can become with age. In summary, Science Photo Library's stunning artwork provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon not only our own mortality but also appreciate just how extraordinary each individual brain truly is.
