The human brain, meninges, and cranial vault from above. The layers of tissue and bone protecting the brain have been removed stepwise, from the layers of skin (on the right), to the bone of the skull, the meninges, and then the cerebrum. The brain is a large and fragile organ that is protected by many complex layers of tissue and bone.
