In this image the brain is viewed from the side (sagittal view), with the front of the brain facing the left side of the image and the back of the brain on the right. Language is processed across a ...

Researchers used a microtome to section the entire brain of a 65-year-old woman. Image courtesy of Science/AAAS. Current 3D brain models were assembled using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, ...

Top row - Left to right sagittal view of the brain slices. Middle row- Posterior to anterior coronal view of the brain slices. Bottom row - Inferior to superior axial view of the brain slices.

Mid-Sagittal MRI of the Lumbar Spine. Left (T1-weighted image); Right (T2-weighted image). On this view centered over the lumbar spine, one can see all five lumbar vertebrae in addition to the sacrum ...

Those with damage to the right sagittal stratum tended to have trouble recognizing sarcasm, the researchers found. This bundle of neural fibers connects a number of brain regions, including those ...

Panel A shows a sagittal T 2-weighted sequence magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the fetuses with fusion of the parietal calvaria.Panel B shows the twins at birth. The fusion was classified as ...

Certain changes in synapses — the junctions between nerve cells in the brain — have been linked with brain disorders. But researchers have only been able to evaluate synaptic changes during autopsies.
