Parkinson

🧠 Core Symbolism – Neurodegeneration & Motor Dysfunction
Ashen midbrain core with blackened streaks → Represents degeneration of the substantia nigra pars compacta, the dopaminergic center

Cracked spine and posture leaning forward → Symbolizes postural instability, a key TRAP feature

🔶 TRAP Mnemonic Visualization
Tremor (pill-rolling) → Fingers curled into a slow, ghostlike gesture, subtly moving in repetitive rhythm

Rigidity (cogwheel or lead-pipe) → Arms and shoulders stiff, bound in tight sinewy coils, frozen in tension

Akinesia/Bradykinesia → Leg joints locked in motion, walking stride mid-stutter, showing slowed movement

Postural Instability → Hunched, leaning gait — feet shuffling unnaturally close

🟠 Lewy Bodies (α-synuclein)
Glowing orange-red nodules embedded into neck, arms, and cranial folds → Represent α-synuclein protein inclusions

Symbolizes intracellular Lewy bodies forming in degenerating neurons

🧠 Other Symbolic Features
Ghostlike mask face → Symbol of hypomimia (reduced facial expression)

Aura fading from eyes and mouth → Dementia as a late-stage symptom

Forearm runes shrinking into nothing → Symbolizes micrographia (tiny handwriting)
