Start with an image or digital painting of a curled-up mouse sleeping on a soft, abstract surface (e.g., glowing waves or EEG-like patterns).
Use muted colors like dark blue and purple to evoke a calming nighttime atmosphere.
Brain Overlay:
Add a semi-transparent overlay of the mouse brain on the body, aligned with its anatomical position.
Use glowing lines to outline the brain regions involved in sleep regulation (e.g., a faint network connecting regions like the thalamus and hypothalamus).
Molecular Elements:
Embed molecular depictions of CaN and SIK3 within the brain overlay.
Highlight T469 and S551 sites with dynamic effects like pulses of light or glowing orbs.
Use connecting lines or arrows to show the dephosphorylation pathway, linking CaN to the SIK3 sites.
Symbolic Sleep Features:
Add subtle waveforms (e.g., delta or alpha waves) as part of the background or emanating from the brain overlay, symbolizing EEG patterns.
Incorporate faint, dream-like imagery, such as stars or a crescent moon, blending softly into the scene.
Finishing Details:
Ensure the molecular structures are simplified but clear, with a visual balance between the mouse, brain, and molecular components.
Use glowing or color-coded elements to differentiate between molecular and physiological layers.
