Neurology Memes

The biological equivalent of a zombie apocalypse, folks! Prions are misfolded proteins that convince normal proteins to join their twisted cult. Just one rogue prion can convert its neighbors until your brain looks like Swiss cheese. Notice how the serval cat on the right has multiplied? That's exactly what happens in your brain tissue. One minute you've got a single misfolded troublemaker, next thing you know they're throwing wild protein-folding parties that your neurons definitely didn't consent to. And the worst part? No antibiotics, no antivirals, no immune response can stop them. They're just proteins doing protein things... incorrectly. It's like teaching one student the wrong formula and watching the error spread through the entire class.
