Common locations for aneurysm-formation in the brain

I wanted to share this picture with you because I think it is gorgeous. It is a diagram of the brain and the first one I've come across that also incorporates the Circle of Willis (blood supply) in a fairly 3 dimensional way. I find it so much easier to understand something when I see it but unfortunately there aren't many good teaching diagrams around.

I suppose not everyone will appreciate the beauty of this diagram. But perhaps that's because you do not understand it because if you did, you would realise what an elegant structure it is, what a miracle of design and physiology the human body is, and in fact, what a work of art our whole world is.

Eduardo Saverin (an American-Brazilian investor) once posted a map of wind patterns and tornado movements on facebook. He called the tornado a 'beauty' and quite a few readers laughed at the caption thinking he was a little strange. But the thing is, as much as tornados can have a devastating impact on the human world (when we meet them) they are magnificent forces. They are stronger than the strongest nation in our world. They are relentless, recognizing no boundaries and making no differentiation between who and what they destroy. When we realise how extraordinary these forces are, when we realise how our own hearts pump relentlessly for a century, when we realise that although we sleep our hearts dont also 'take a break' then I think we will start to recognise how wonderful these little everyday entities are.

See the world through the eyes of a child. There is magic everywhere!
