A top-down, stylized illustration of a human brain is presented against a white background. The brain is depicted with its two hemispheres clearly separated by a central fissure. The surface of the brain is rendered with intricate, winding gyri and sulci, giving it a textured appearance. The color palette is predominantly a fleshy, light pinkish-orange, with subtle shading that highlights the three-dimensional form of the cerebral cortex. Beneath the cerebrum, the cerebellum is visible, characterized by its distinct, layered structure and a deeper red hue. The brainstem extends downwards from the cerebellum, depicted as a bundle of ribbed, fleshy-colored fibers that taper as they descend. The overall style is clean and graphic, with bold outlines and smooth rendering, suggesting an educational or informational context.
