Mad Cow Disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder affecting both cows and humans. In cattle, it's characterized by progressive neurological symptoms, such as coordination loss and tremors, as seen in this simulated image. Human transmission occurs primarily through consumption of contaminated meat, leading to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. An MRI scan of an affected human brain reveals characteristic signs of spongiform changes and atrophy. This computer art illustrates the devastating impact of BSE on both bovine and human brains, represented by flames consuming healthy neural tissue.
