Abstract
Adrenal corticosteroid hormones reach many organs including the brain where they exert persistent actions on neuronal excitability. Normally, steroid actions will maintain the integrity of neuronal networks, yet chronically decreased or enhanced corticosteroid levels can disrupt networks and enhance susceptibility to neurodegeneration.
