Big Picture: Inside the Brain The Spring 2013 issue of Big Picture, Inside the Brain, is now available online. This issue, explores the technologies that are helping us to understand the brain, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). About the cover: This photograph, taken by Robert Ludlow, shows the surface (cortex) of a human brain belonging to an epileptic patient. The image displays the bright red arteries that supply the brain with nutrients and oxygen and the purple veins that remove deoxygenated blood. This photograph was taken before an intracranial electrode recording procedure for epilepsy, in which electrical activity is measured from the exposed surface of the brain. To find out more about Robert’s image and its creation, view this video on the UCL Institute of Neurology’s website. (Wellcome Image Awards 2012)
