Computer-enhanced MRI brain scan (side view)
Healthy brain. Computer-enhanced Magnetic Reson- ance Imaging (MRI) scan of a human brain, in side view. This is a sagittal " slice" through the brain in profile. The face is at left with the nasal and mouth cavities coloured orange. The brain is green/yellow, with cranial spaces pink. At top, the cerebrum of the brain appears folded (green); this is the region where intelligent thought processes and memory occur. At centre (yellow) is the elongated brainstem which controls involuntary reflexes; it connects with the spinal cord. An MRI scan is obtained using a powerful magnet and radio waves. It enables structures in the brain to be seen, including brain tumours

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-enhanced MRI brain scan, providing a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate workings of the human mind. Taken from a side view perspective, this sagittal "slice" reveals the complexity and beauty of our most vital organ. The image begins with the face on the left side, where vibrant orange hues highlight the nasal and mouth cavities. Moving inward, we encounter the green and yellow brain itself, representing various regions responsible for different functions. The folded cerebrum in shades of green symbolizes intelligent thought processes and memory formation. At the center of attention lies an elongated yellow brainstem, which controls involuntary reflexes and serves as a crucial link to our spinal cord. This region is essential for maintaining bodily functions beyond conscious control. Obtained through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this artwork-like illustration combines science with artistry to create a visually stunning representation of our neural architecture. By utilizing powerful magnets and radio waves, an MRI scan enables us to explore deep within these structures—revealing potential abnormalities such as brain tumors that would otherwise remain hidden. With its abstract yet detailed portrayal of healthy brain anatomy, this print offers both scientific insight into our nervous system's inner workings and aesthetic appeal that captivates viewers' imaginations.
