Micrographia

Micrographia is a condition where individuals experience a noticeable shrinkage in the size of their handwriting, often caused by neurological issues such as Parkinson’s disease. This results from difficulty with motor control and coordination, making fine movements like writing more challenging. The handwriting may become small, cramped, and harder to read over time. Recognized as an early sign of neurological decline, micrographia reflects the impairment of brain areas responsible for precise motor functions, highlighting changes in neuromuscular control rather than a decline in intellectual ability.
