Adrenal Disorders and the Paediatric Brain: Pathophysiological Considerations and Clinical Implications by Vincenzo Salpietro, Agata Polizzi, Gabriella Di Rosa, Anna Claudia Romeo, Valeria Dipasquale, Paolo Morabito, Valeria Chirico, Teresa Arrigo, Martino Ruggieri

“…The development and maturation of the central nervous system (CNS) through childhood is tightly regulated by intrinsic, paracrine, endocrine, and external modulators, and perturbations in any of these factors, including those related to adrenal hormone imbalance, could result in consequences that affect the structure and function of the paediatric brain. Animal experiments and clinical studies demonstrated that the developing (i.e., paediatric) CNS seems to be particularly vulnerable to alterations induced by adrenal disorders and/or supraphysiological doses of corticosteroids. …”
