Steroids and the Brain -
10-15-2007
Steroids and the Brain There are answers in this thread that are asked in several other threads. There is some great info and answers here. Please take the time to read it in its entirety. Well we all know steroids have short term effects on the brain, such as aggressive behavior, immune system effects, mood swings, guilt, depression, etc. But I've been having concentration/learning difficulties, and upon doing a little research came across this Anabolic Steroids Affect the Brain Parts of the brain that influence your moods and are involved in learning and memory are called the limbic system. Anabolic steroids act in the limbic system. In animals, they have been shown to impair learning and memory. Anabolic steroid users may act mean to people they're normally nice to, like friends and family. Anabolic steroids in the brain may trigger really aggressive behavior. Some outbursts can be so severe they have become known in the media as "roid rages." That might help explain my difficulties in studying right now. Dose anyone have anything that expands on this? What about in the long-run? Any evidence to suggest that steroids cause any damage to the brain? I.E. Do they effect neurons or anything like that? They can also lead to changes in mood, such as feelings of depression or irritability. source: ironmagazineforums.com
