Coloured MRI scan of brain superimposed on head
MODEL RELEASED. Face and brain scan. Coloured Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan of the posterior half of the human brain superimposed on the profile of a womans head. This scan is a sagittal section illustrating several structures, coloured blue within the yellow-coloured bones of the skull. The highly folded cerebrum is seen at top, this is mainly concerned with conscious thought processes. Below the cerebrum 2 major structures are also seen: the highly folded cerebellum (white & blue at centre left) coordinates muscle movement and posture; to the right of the cerebellum, the dark blue pons connects the mid-brain to the brainstem

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the human brain, merging science and art in a mesmerizing display. The coloured MRI scan of the posterior half of the brain is superimposed on the profile of a woman's head, creating a striking visual representation. The image highlights various structures within the brain, with blue hues contrasting against yellow-coloured bones of the skull. At the top lies the highly folded cerebrum, responsible for conscious thought processes and representing our capacity for deep thinking and complex cognition. Beneath it, two major structures come into view: first, we see the highly folded cerebellum in white and blue at center-left. This vital component coordinates muscle movement and posture, enabling us to navigate through space effortlessly. Adjacent to it is the dark blue pons that connects mid-brain to brainstem - an essential link facilitating communication between different regions. This artwork not only provides an abstract interpretation but also serves as a reminder of our profound connection with our own minds. It symbolizes how every thought, emotion or action stems from this extraordinary organ nestled inside our skulls. Through its conceptual approach and meticulous detailing, this print invites viewers to contemplate both their physical existence and their inner world – an exploration that intertwines science with artistic expression seamlessly captured by Science Photo Library.
