Our group is interested in researching how long-term corticosteroid
therapy affects brain activity and function. Our group recently
completed a project examining different aspects of the hippocampus (volume, biochemistry and functioning) in patients receiving chronic
prednisone therapy. A significant amount of our research examines
if there are medications available that can prevent the common
corticosteriod side-effects of memory impairment and manic / hypomanic
symptoms
