Normal brain, MRI scan

Normal human brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a human head. The sagittal (side view) scan has revealed the head in cross section, passing through the left ear. The front of the head is at left. The largest part of the brain (orange) is the cerebrum, which is made up of two hemispheres and fills most of the head. It is responsible for conscious thoughts and actions, memory and personality. The arrangement of the muscles is shown in purple

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a normal human brain. The colored magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of our most complex organ. In this sagittal view, we are presented with a cross-section passing through the left ear, revealing the front of the head on the left side. The vibrant orange hue represents the cerebrum, which is comprised of two hemispheres and dominates most of the head. This remarkable structure is responsible for conscious thoughts and actions, memory retention, and personality traits that make us uniquely human. In addition to highlighting the cerebrum, this image also offers insight into facial muscles depicted in purple. These muscles play an essential role in our expressions and allow us to convey emotions ranging from joy to sadness. Through advanced technology like MRI scanning, medical professionals gain valuable diagnostic tools for understanding neurological conditions within our nervous system. By utilizing false coloring techniques, scientists can enhance visual clarity while studying various sections of this vital organ. As we marvel at this photograph's artistic portrayal of biology and anatomy intertwined, it serves as a reminder that our brains hold immeasurable potential for discovery and understanding about ourselves and what makes us truly extraordinary beings.
