Abstract:

Methamphetamine (MA) use is associated with increased aggression, though the specific mechanisms through which this association operates remain unclear. Research has demonstrated an association between MA, heightened impulsivity and reduced behavioural control. Similarly, there is strong evidence of a link between MA use and psychotic symptoms. Despite research efforts examining these independent associations, there is a paucity of studies examining how these factors interact to influence the relationship between MA use and aggression.

The psychostimulant, METH causes central nervous system damage, along with short and long-term changes to the innate and adaptive immune system. METH was investigated for its impact(s) across a range of physiological contexts. Specifically, crystal METH was investigated for its immune-modulatory effects, in cells of the innate immunity, as well as gene expression modifications in the mouse colon using open- source gene ontology programs. In this regard, changes in differential gene expression and subsequent enrichment in gene ontology groups allowed for a deeper understanding of how METH impac

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>行為醫學研究所<br>96<br>Immunohistochemical Fos staining has proved to be a method to identify the loci of activated neurons specific to a stimulus. Although the methamphetamine (MA)-conditioned place preference (CPP) is a long-term memory, how and where the MA-CPP memory was stored and retrieved remained unknown. In this study, a conditioning procedure comprising of vehicle (saline) injection and previously-conditioned environment presentation, not performance test, was used as a way to reactivate the MA-CPP memory. Activated neurons in the limbic system following this MA-CPP memory

Abstract:

abstract: Children removed from methamphetamine laboratories are a severely understudied population despite the widespread deprivation parental methamphetamine abuse has on children, particularly in homes where methamphetamine is produced. Arizona's children are uniquely affected by the use and manufacturing of methamphetamine due to the geographic location and landscape of the state. A sample of 144 children removed from their homes during the seizure of methamphetamine laboratories, as part of the Arizona Drug Endangered Children program between 1999 and 2003, was investigated. Results indic
