This document contains an illustrated guide to the structures of the human brain. It displays labeled diagrams of the brain viewed from several angles, including lateral, medial, anterior, frontal section, horizontal section, and inferior views. The diagrams identify the major lobes of the brain (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital), sulci and gyri, ventricles, and various nerves and arteries. Brief captions accompany the diagrams and provide names for the illustrated structures. The document also provides publication details and credits the images.
