Scientists map how common steroids change your brain
NCT ID NCT03896659
Summary
This study aimed to understand how short-term use of a steroid medication (hydrocortisone) affects memory and specific parts of the brain. Researchers gave 66 healthy adults and a small group with depression either the steroid or a placebo for three days. They used detailed brain scans and memory tests to see how the brain's memory center, called the hippocampus, responded to the medication.
