Artwork of brain depicting Parkinsons disease
Parkinsons disease. Illustration of the brain, depicting the neurological disorder of Parkinsons disease. A coronal section through the brain is seen, with two elderly figures in a bent posture superimposed. Parkinsons disease is caused by a degeneration of nerve tissue within the basal ganglia (pink areas, at centre) of the brain. As a result, nerve pathways down the spinal cord are altered. Contracted muscle is prevented from relaxing, causing tremor, joint rigidity, and slow movement. Parkinsons disease affects the elderly. It progresses from a slight hand tremor, to an unbalanced, bent-over, shuffling walk. Treatment includes dopamine drugs. There is no cure

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate artwork of the human brain, specifically depicting Parkinson's disease. The image portrays a coronal section through the brain, highlighting the neurological disorder that affects millions worldwide. Superimposed on this scientific illustration are two elderly figures in a bent posture, symbolizing the physical impact of Parkinson's. Parkinson's disease arises from the degeneration of nerve tissue within the basal ganglia, represented by pink areas at the center of the brain. This degeneration alters nerve pathways down the spinal cord, leading to contracted muscles that struggle to relax. Consequently, individuals with Parkinson's experience tremors, joint rigidity, and slowed movements. Primarily affecting older adults, this progressive condition initially manifests as slight hand tremors before evolving into an unbalanced and shuffling walk accompanied by a stooped posture. While there is no cure for Parkinson's disease currently available, treatment involves dopamine drugs aimed at managing symptoms and improving quality of life. The mesmerizing blend of artistry and medical science captured in this print serves as a powerful reminder of both our vulnerability to neurological disorders and our ongoing efforts to understand and combat them. It stands as a testament to humanity's unwavering commitment to healthcare advancements while offering hope for those affected by Parkinson's disease.
