Do cortisol affects the brain electrical activity (EEG powers)?

Background: Glucocorticoids at very low/high levels are detrimental for memory performance. But how electroencephalogram (EEG) activity correlates with the cortisol in high and low efficient brains are still controversial. Objective: To find the association of cortisol with EEG powers in high and lo...

Zusammenfassung:Background: Glucocorticoids at very low/high levels are detrimental for memory performance. But how electroencephalogram (EEG) activity correlates with the cortisol in high and low efficient brains are still controversial. Objective: To find the association of cortisol with EEG powers in high and low cognitive brains at the time of examination preparation. Method: The EEG was recorded in an eye-closed state for 5-minutes in high (n-59) and low (n-24) cognitive individuals. Their salivary cortisol was estimated and correlated with the EEG activity by Spearman correlation test (p
