Anatomy of the Brain: Major Regions

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. It consists of four main parts: the cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brainstem.
The cerebrum is the largest section of the brain and divides into left and right hemispheres, separated by a deep fissure. The cerebral outer layer of grey matter — the cerebral cortex — comprises elevations called gyri and shallow groves called sulci. The inner portion of white matter includes long nerve fibers known as axons, which connect various areas...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Anatomy
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Existing human brainstem atlases lack detail and uniform intervals.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging and traditional histology are insufficient for precise structural identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a novel, high-resolution human brainstem atlas.
  • To improve the visualization and understanding of brainstem structures.

Main Methods:

  • 319 brainstem sectioned images were used to reconstruct 3D views.
  • Detailed structures were annotated, and a volume model was generated.
  • White matter fibers were traced using MRIcroGL.

Main Results:

  • A novel brainstem atlas with true color and shape was generated.
  • 212 nuclei and tracts were annotated across axial, coronal, and sagittal planes.
  • The atlas reveals fine structures and gray-white matter contrast at 0.2 mm intervals.

Conclusions:

  • The new atlas offers a comprehensive understanding of complex brainstem topography.
  • It is valuable for neuroanatomy education and research.
  • The atlas enriches existing literature on the human brain.
