Healthy vs. Atrophied Human Brain: Visual Comparison of Neurodegeneration #1647447 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays two human brains against a black background: the left brain appears plump with well-defined gyri and shallow sulci, representing typical healthy anatomy; the right brain shows significant volume loss, enlarged fissures, and flattened convolutions-hallmarks of advanced neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s or severe aging-related atrophy. Both specimens are preserved and positioned to highlight structural differences in frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes.

Used in medical textbooks, neurology lectures, health awareness campaigns, and digital exhibits to illustrate brain atrophy; targets students, clinicians, caregivers, and patients seeking to understand progressive cognitive decline.
