Is the summary accurate? It says "A new study sheds light on how the brain changes as a result of chronic stress", but the rest of the article only mentions acute stress.

#12My body also changes due to stress. I get rashes on my hand if I get stressed for more than 2 days at a stretch.

#13Professor Sapolsky has talked about this in a somewhat different context as well, about what it does during childhood development. Really tragic actually.
Any links?

If you don’t mind sharing - what kind of rashes?

From https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317631.php
"It is also possible for emotional stress to trigger an outbreak of hives. There can be a number of hormonal or chemical changes that occur in response to stress.
These changes can trigger blood vessels to expand and leak, causing red and swollen patches of skin."

They are small bumps (lots) which are not red but has same color as my skin. They retain water in them. They fade away in a week with dead skins at those spots. In two weeks they leave no trace.

Same, dyshidrotic eczema is the closest thing I've found to what mine looks like.

#18It would be helpful to tag articles about animal model studies and early stage drug trials on HN, similar to [pdf] and [video] content; would tone down the clickbait/sensationalism levels without the need to modify the submission title.

Not OP, but I've had this happen to me during a very stressful period of my life.
In my case, small patches of skin went really dry and itchy, and eventually fell off, like dead skin after a sunburn.
My dad had it on his scalp once too. He had a few circular patches (~3cm) with total hair loss, which eventually grew back.
Neither of us had that happen again.
