Scientific Q --- neurobiology of stress basis of physical illnesses

"Everyone" (probably most of those in this group) knows that early life adversity can result in not only concerns about mental health, but physical disorders as well -- clearly found in the original ACEs studies. Does anyone know the neurobiological mechanisms involved in this process? (other than the catch-all "increase in allostatic load").

There's a journal I dip into occasionally "Neurobiology of Stress", but it's a bit outside my area of expertise -- though there was this in it recently, applicable to psychological disorders: http://www.sciencedirect.com/s...d=raven_sd_aip_email

and this looks pretty good, applicable to physical disorders http://www.sciencedirect.com/s...d=raven_sd_aip_email

does anyone know any better ones, which would not only "prove the connection" but do so in a way comprehensible to most?
