Views of the Human Brain
The human brain is a complex organ. One way to better understand the brain and how it works is through visuals. There are many types of visuals available for viewing the human brain. Computer-generated, MRI-scans, or color sketched drawings are just some of the choices that are available. Images are taken from different views of the brain and serve to give a clearer picture of the brain and its role.
Left
One of the most popular views of the brain is taken from the left side. From this image, seven different parts of the brain are shown and labeled, with each having its own important role in functioning of the human body.
The Brain: Picture showing the left view of the brain.
The Brain: Black and white image of the brain from left view.
Illustration of the Brain: A drawing from the left view inside the human body.
Image of the Brain: 3-D image from the left view.
Right
From this right view of the brain, the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes of the human brain are shown. The temporal lobe processes memory, language, and hearing roles.
The Brain: A 3-D model of the right view of the brain, highlighting the right temporal lobe.
The Temporal Lobe: An article discussing the correlation of the temporal lobe and language.
Brain Art: A drawing of the right view of the brain from Science-Art.com.
3-D Brain Image: An additional 3-D image from the right view of the brain.
Anterior
This anterior view of the brain shows seven different components of the brain. The cerebral hemisphere separates the left and the right hemispheres, while both the third and lateral ventricle aids to protect the brain from trauma. In the substantia nigra dopamine is produced, with this part of the brain playing a key role in not only addictions, but also in mood behavior. The pons controls functions such as arousal and sleep; cerebellum is the area that controls fine movement coordination and muscle. The medulla oblongata communicates nerve signals to the brain and spinal cord.

3-D Brain Image: A 3-D illustration of the human brain from an anterior view.
Superior
Viewing from the superior, one can see the medial longitudinal fissure which separates the right and left hemisphere. Also showing is the frontal lobe that serves in functions such as judgment, motor skills, and is related to humor. The occipital lobe controls the vision and the recognition of colors, while the parietal lobe controls speech and the processing of information.
The Frontal Lobe: An article on how the frontal lobe plays a contributing factor to humor.
The Longitudinal Fissure: A view of the longitudinal fissure.
The Parietal Lobe: An article of language and the parietal lobe.
The Brain: A model of the brain inside the body from a superior view.
Inferior
An inferior view will show many of the same areas of the brain except for the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is pea-sized and is known as “The Master Gland.” This gland produces growth hormones to support the natural development of height. The pituitary gland is also responsible for the levels of estrogen and testosterone in the body.
The Inferior View: A detailed inferior view of the brain.
The Pituitary Gland: An article of the pituitary gland.
