Yes, but that's the view from outside the brain. Since relief from stress produces improvement of symptoms, do we know that stress accelerates the neurodegeneration process in the substania nigra? Is there any research on this? I know that there is research on the bad effects of stress on the body in general, and some of it goes a bit into neuroendocrine effects in general.
