Limbic system of the brain, artwork C015 / 4529
Limbic system of the brain. Computer artwork showing the main parts of the limbic system from the human brain. At centre is the oval-shaped thalamus (red) which receives sensory stimuli. In front and above it is the corpus striatum (green) which consists of the two basal ganglia: the caudate nucleus (convex-lens shaped) and the lentiform nucleus (comma-shaped). Both contain large numbers of the cell bodies of neurons. This complex network of nerve pathways making up the limbic system is involved with the expression of instinct and mood. This includes the expression of fear, rage, pleasure, reproduction, self-preservation, and formation of memory patterns

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the limbic system, a crucial component of the human brain. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a detailed visualization of its main parts. At the center lies the oval-shaped thalamus, depicted in vibrant red, which serves as a receiver for sensory stimuli. Positioned above it is the corpus striatum, portrayed in striking green hues and comprising two basal ganglia: the caudate nucleus resembling a convex lens and the lentiform nucleus taking on a comma-like shape. These structures house numerous cell bodies of neurons that form an elaborate network of nerve pathways within the limbic system. The limbic system plays an integral role in regulating instinctual behaviors and emotions. It governs our expressions of fear, rage, pleasure, reproduction, self-preservation, and memory formation. This artistic representation not only highlights its anatomical complexity but also symbolizes its significance in shaping our psychological experiences. With its white background contrasting against vivid colors and precise details meticulously captured by BO VEISLAND/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's expertise in scientific photography; this print offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at one of nature's most extraordinary creations – our own brains. It serves as a reminder that beneath our conscious thoughts and actions lies this intricate web responsible for shaping who we are as individuals.
