Introduction: Compared with healthy controls, women with Cushing’s syndrome (CS) in long-term remission have reduced functional brain responses during episodic and working memory testing and decreased overall levels of DNA methylation in blood cells. Here, we sought to test the hypothesis that functional brain responses in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus are related to epigenetic changes in subjects with CS in long-term remission.Methods: In t...
