Abstract: ‘Psychoneuroendocrinology’ is now quickly emerging as a hot interdisciplinary research field that addresses the interplay between neuronal and endocrine signaling in psychiatric diseases. Both glucocorticoid hormones and dopamine have an important role in maintaining normal brain functions. In this review, molecular and mechanistic aspects of glucocorticoid effects on brain function and behavior will be discussed with specific reference to dopamine signaling. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
