Mar 4th, 2023 - Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are expressed throughout the central nervous system and act as important regulators of drug-induced neuroplasticity and behavior. Preclinical research suggests that mGlu receptors play a critical role in a s...

Feb 23rd, 2023 - Evidence reveals that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors are involved in the development of methamphetamine (METH) dependence. The GABA receptor delta subunit gene (GABRD) might be a good candidate gene for METH dependence. In a case-control stu...

Feb 23rd, 2023 - All living cells, including neurons, generate ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) during biological activity, and in particular, in the brain, it has been shown that UPE is correlated with neuronal activity and associated metabolic processes. Various...

Feb 7th, 2023 - Drug and natural rewarding stimuli activate the mesolimbic dopaminergic system. Both methamphetamine (Meth) and copulation to satiety importantly increase dopamine (DA) release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), but with differences in magnitude. Thi...

Feb 5th, 2023 - Deficits in social cognition are seen in both people living with HIV (PWH) and people with a history of methamphetamine (METH) dependence. Dually affected individuals may experience additive negative effects on social cognition due to these condit...

Dec 6th, 2022 - Heart failure associated with illicit use of the psychostimulant methamphetamine (MethHF) is increasing in the US and around the world across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, a literature review indicates. MethHF is associated with increa...

May 26th, 2019 - Methamphetamine (MA) abuse has been linked to psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis. It also has been linked to problems in everyday functioning (eg, impulsivity), and neurocognitive deficits in attention, memory, lear.

Mar 27th, 2018 - A new study sheds light on two poorly understood cardiac complications of methamphetamine (MA) abuse: pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and dilated cardiomyopathy (CMP).   In what is believed to be the largest case series to date, investigator...

Jul 17th, 2013 - A synthetic compound found in illicit drugs known as "bath salts" may be more addictive than methamphetamine (meth), new research suggests. A set of tests showed that after a group of rats were exposed to the chemical 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovaleron...
