Finasteride reduces alcohol consumption in mice by affecting brain chemicals.
research Lack of evidence of a role for the neurosteroid allopregnanolone in ethanol-induced reward and c-fos expression in DBA/2 mice
Allopregnanolone likely doesn't influence ethanol's rewarding effects in these mice.
research Early postnatal neuroactive steroid manipulation differentially affects recognition memory and passive avoidance performance in male rats
Changing neuroactive steroids in baby male rats affects their memory and learning differently as they grow up.
research Exploring the Impact of the Microbiome on Neuroactive Steroid Levels in Germ-Free Animals
Gut microbes significantly affect brain steroid levels.

Blocking certain brain processes reduces mating behavior in female rats.
research Expanding the therapeutic potential of neuro(active)steroids: a promising strategy for hyperdopaminergic behavioral phenotypes
Neurosteroids may help treat disorders with too much dopamine activity.
research Evaluation of standardized scalp photography on patient perception of hair loss severity, anxiety, and treatment
Scalp photography helps patients feel less anxious about hair loss, agree more with doctors on severity, and stay motivated for treatment.
research The Shifting Landscape of Disease-Modifying Therapies for Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
New treatments for relapsing multiple sclerosis are more effective and convenient but have higher risks of serious side effects.
research Hyperammonemia with Valproic Acid: Colonic Ischemia Associated with “Triptan” Use Visual Side Effects with Pegylated Interferon: Alopecia Areata with Infliximab: Adverse Effects Seen with Medications Used for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Certain medications can cause serious side effects, so it's important to report them.
research Up in smoke: A neurologist's approach to “medical marijuana”
"Medical marijuana" lacks strong evidence for medical use and is often a way to bypass recreational marijuana laws.
research 2‐Deoxy‐d ‐glucose enhances tonic inhibition through the neurosteroid‐mediated activation of extrasynaptic GABA A receptors
2-DG reduces seizures by enhancing brain inhibition through specific receptor activation.
research Dutasteride reduces alcohol’s sedative effects in men in a human laboratory setting and reduces drinking in the natural environment
Dutasteride makes alcohol less sedating and may lead to less drinking in men.
research Organizadores e cortadores de comprimidos: riscos e restrições ao uso
Pill organizers and cutters can help with taking medication regularly but may affect the medication's effectiveness and safety.
research Drugs and alopecia
