False-colour NMR scan of the head, sagittal slice

False-colour nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) image of a mid-sagittal section through a human head, showing structures of a normal brain, airways & facial tissues. The heavily-folded cerebral cortex (the grey matter), which forms the outer part of the cerebrum, is coloured green & yellow. The red curved region in centre is the corpus callosum, a broad band of nervous tissue that connects the two hemispheres of the cerebrum. Beneath it at right appears the feathery outline of the cerebellum. Immediately to the left of the cerebellum (in yellow/red) is the brainstem, an enlarged extension of the spinal cord. Bones of the neck appear to the left of the spinal cord

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) scan of the head, specifically a sagittal slice. The image provides an intricate view of various structures within a normal human brain, as well as airways and facial tissues. The cerebral cortex, which forms the outer layer of the cerebrum, is prominently displayed in vibrant shades of green and yellow due to its heavily-folded nature. At the center of this mesmerizing composition lies the corpus callosum, depicted in striking red curves. This broad band of nervous tissue serves as a vital connection between the two hemispheres of the cerebrum. Adjacent to it on the right side is the feathery outline representing the cerebellum. Moving towards leftward direction from there, we encounter another significant component -the brainstem- portrayed in hues ranging from yellow to red. This enlarged extension originates from the spinal cord and plays a crucial role in connecting various parts of our nervous system. Notably present on the left side are also bones belonging to our neck region that appear alongside with part of our spinal cord. Overall, this extraordinary NMR scan offers us an insightful glimpse into both healthy anatomy and complex neural pathways within our remarkable human body. It stands as a testament to scientific progress and exploration while reminding us how intricately interconnected all these elements are for proper functioning.
