The anti-viral drug Elvitegravir may protect brain cells from damage related to neurodegenerative diseases.
research Early postnatal allopregnanolone levels alteration and adult behavioral disruption in rats: Implication for drug abuse
Changing allopregnanolone levels in baby rats affects their adult behavior and alcohol use.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Isolation rearing-induced reduction of brain 5α-reductase expression: Relevance to dopaminergic impairments
Isolation stress in rats reduces brain enzyme levels, affecting dopamine function.

Light therapy on the brain shows promise for treating brain diseases and improving brain function.
research Anabolic–Androgenic Steroids and Brain Damage: A Review of Evidence and Medico-Legal Implications
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can damage the brain, causing mood and cognitive problems.
research Kin‐cohort analysis of LRRK2‐G2019S penetrance in Parkinson's disease
The LRRK2-G2019S mutation in Parkinson's disease has a lifetime penetrance of 25-35%, and finasteride may help reduce symptoms in adult male Tourette syndrome patients.
research A preliminary study of finasteride in Tourette syndrome
Finasteride reduces Tourette syndrome symptoms, but results may be limited due to potential biases.
research Desferrioxamine treatment of aceruloplasminemia: Long‐term follow‐up
Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research Pathological findings in a case of stiff person syndrome with anti‐GAD antibodies
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.
