Human brain, temporal lobe
Brain, brainstem. Computer artwork of a human brain in profile within a glass-effect female head, showing the location of the brainstem and central brain structures (red). The brainstem (lower centre of brain) connects the brain to the spinal cord. It consists of the medulla oblongata, pons and the midbrain. The brainstem functions in attention, arousal and consciousness. Deep in the centre of the brain are the thalamus and basal ganglia, which relay sensory and motor information between the cerebral cortex and brainstem. The hypothalamus, which regulates temperature and appetite, and the pituitary gland, which produces hormones, are also located in this central area

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the human brain, specifically focusing on the temporal lobe. Through stunning computer artwork, a glass-effect female head is used as a canvas to display the brain in profile, highlighting key structures and their locations within this vital organ. The central focus of this image is on the brainstem and its connection to the spinal cord. Comprised of three main components - medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain - the brainstem plays a crucial role in attention, arousal, and consciousness. Delving deeper into the center of our brains reveals essential structures such as thalamus and basal ganglia. These act as relays for sensory and motor information between our cerebral cortex (the outer layer) and brainstem. Additionally, we find both hypothalamus - responsible for regulating temperature and appetite - along with pituitary gland that produces hormones. The transparent nature of this illustration allows us to marvel at how these complex elements fit together seamlessly within our biological makeup. It serves as a reminder that beneath our skin lies an extraordinary world governed by neurological processes. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment in science through their remarkable artwork depicting not just anatomy but also shedding light on neurology's wonders.
