Listen "How Meth Affects the Brain's Goal-Directed Behavior | PsychoLens #008"
Episode Synopsis
This study examined how methamphetamine impacts brain cells in the dorsomedial striatum (DMS), a region linked to goal-directed behavior in mice. Researchers found that meth altered the excitability of specific neurons in the DMS during abstinence, which may contribute to negative emotions and drug-seeking behaviors. These findings highlight the need for further research on how meth affects brain function and behavior over time.
