Abstract:
Methamphetamine (MA) is a highly addictive psychostimulant that has effects on central nervous system.Chronic MA useis linked to serious neurotoxic effects and ultimately cognitive impairments, thus understanding the effect of chronic MA use on cognitive function can improve the treatment of MA abusers and reduce MA relapse. In the present study, we summarized the main results of animal experiments, neuropsychological studies and brain imaging studies on MA abuse and cognitive impairment, which may provide the basis for future research and clinical treatment.
