Artwork of the human brain in head, profile
Human brain. Illustration of a normal brain inside a human head shown in profile. The folded area on top, which occupies most of the brain, is the cerebrum. This is the site of " higher" faculties such as intelligence and consciousness, and is unusually large in humans. The pale pink structure directly under the cerebrum is the corpus callosum, beneath which is the thalamus. This relays messages between different parts of the brain. Under the thalamus are the cerebellum (with tree-like cross-section) & brainstem (adjacent to and below the cerebellum). The cerebellum controls balance and co-ordination, while the brainstem controls involuntary reflexes like breathing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of the human brain, offering a fascinating glimpse into our most complex organ. The image portrays a profile view of a normal brain inside a human head, highlighting its various components and functions. The cerebrum, occupying the folded area on top and encompassing most of the brain, stands out as an unusually large structure in humans. It is here that higher faculties such as intelligence and consciousness reside, making it truly remarkable. Just below the cerebrum lies the pale pink corpus callosum, responsible for relaying messages between different parts of the brain. Moving further down, we encounter the thalamus nestled beneath the corpus callosum. This vital structure acts as a messenger hub by transmitting information throughout various regions of our brain. Continuing downward are two distinct sections: first is the tree-like cross-sectioned cerebellum which governs balance and coordination; secondly sits adjacent to it is the brainstem – controlling involuntary reflexes like breathing. Through this artistic representation, Science Photo Library provides us with an awe-inspiring visual exploration of our central nervous system's core elements - from cognition to motor control. Delving into this mesmerizing artwork reminds us just how extraordinary our brains truly are in their complexity and functionality within our bodies.
