Childs brain, MRI scan
Childs brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of an coronal (vertical) section through the head and brain of a healthy 3-year-old child, passing through the ears. Seen here is the cerebrum, the largest part of the brain. It is divided into two hemispheres and is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement. Below centre is the cerebellum, a part of the brain that controls voluntary muscular movement and maintains posture and balance. The spine is seen at lower centre, with the shoulders at right and left

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a 3-year-old child's brain. The coronal section, passing through the ears, provides an intricate view of the various components that make up this remarkable organ. At the forefront is the cerebrum, which holds great significance as it encompasses conscious thought, emotions, and voluntary movement. Divided into two hemispheres, it serves as the epicenter for our cognitive abilities. Beneath the cerebrum lies another crucial part called the cerebellum. This region takes charge of voluntary muscular movements while maintaining posture and balance—a vital function for any growing child exploring their surroundings with boundless energy. The lower center reveals a glimpse of the spine alongside both shoulders at right and left angles—reminders of how interconnected our body systems truly are. As we delve deeper into this image, we witness not only a snapshot of biology but also an appreciation for human anatomy in its purest form. It reminds us that behind every action or emotion lies an intricate network within our nervous system working tirelessly to keep us functioning optimally. This awe-inspiring photograph grants us insight into normal brain development during early childhood—an invaluable resource shedding light on one of life's greatest wonders—the human mind.
