For years I thought, yeah, there is a gut brain hypothesis here for Parkinson's. But then when I started to really push through my PhD, I was looking at genetic aberrations in genes that were involved in the mitochondria. So it could be many roads lead to Rome. There are multiple things causing Parkinson's disease and they all tend to just coalesce at the basal nuclei or dopaminergic neurons associated with it. One of which may be a gut-based cause. Others may be genetic aberrades in mitochondrial genes and others might be genetic abergations in neuronal synapseing genes. It can be multiple causes for neurons dying. That's what you see.
