In some areas it could be large.
I've worked quite a bit in neuroregeneration, particularly after stroke, and the impact of activity and stress upon brain-healing can be significant. Now I am working in brain tumor, and I'd guess you might even see effects there. I have seen a lot of evidence to suggest that disparate organs can have significant effects upon each other. I've often wondered about this, but one of the limiting factors is money. It is expensive to house animals.
