Well we all know steroids have short term effects on the brain, such as aggressive behavior, immune system effects, mood swings, guilt, depression, etc.
But I've been having concentration/learning difficulties, and upon doing a little research came across this
Dose anyone have anything that expands on this?
What about in the long-run? Any evidence to suggest that steroids cause any damage to the brain? I.E. Do they effect neurons or anything like that?

That might help explain my difficulties in studying right now.Anabolic Steroids Affect the Brain
Parts of the brain that influence your moods and are involved in learning and memory are called the limbic system. Anabolic steroids act in the limbic system. In animals, they have been shown to impair learning and memory. They can also lead to changes in mood, such as feelings of depression or irritability.
Anabolic steroid users may act mean to people they're normally nice to, like friends and family.
Anabolic steroids in the brain may trigger really aggressive behavior. Some outbursts can be so severe they have become known in the media as "roid rages."
