Abnormal cerebral blood flow in methamphetamine abusers assessed by brain perfusion single emission computed tomography
- Medicine
- 2017
It is shown that amphetamine abuse can induce diffuse and nonhomogeneous disorders of brain perfusion which was more prominent in the right hemisphere.
Emission Tomographic Studies in Substance Abuse
- Biology
- 2001
Computer-based advances in computational and data processing capacity have led to the development of tomographic techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) and the ability to non-invasively measure regional CBF and cerebral blood volume.

This article aims to review the existing literature on applications of perfusion MRI in psychiatric disorder and substance abuse research and provides a brief introductory overview of dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI and arterial spin labeling techniques.
Neuroimaging in Chronic MAP Users
- Psychology
- 2001
Four major findings are presented, by using neuroimaging techniques, in the brain of chronic MAP users: significant and persistent reductions in dopamine transporter (DAT) density, which were correlated with both the duration of MAP use and severity of psychotic symptoms, and reversible changes in D2 receptors.

Neuromechanism of Developing Methamphetamine Psychosis: A Neuroimaging Study
- Psychology, MedicineAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences
- 2004
It is suggested that long‐term use of MAP causes abnormal cerebral blood flow patterns, reduction of brain dopamine transporter density, and metabolite alteration, which may be closely related to a susceptibility to MAP psychosis.
Research Peper: Brain Structure Changes Associated With Methamphetamine Abuse in Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging

This study aimed at evaluating the structural brain changes following amphetamines abuse, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Structural Abnormalities in the Brains of Human Subjects Who Use Methamphetamine
- Psychology, BiologyThe Journal of Neuroscience
- 2004
MRI-based maps suggest that chronic methamphetamine abuse causes a selective pattern of cerebral deterioration that contributes to impaired memory performance, and brain substrates may help account for the symptoms of MA abuse, providing therapeutic targets for drug-induced brain injury.

Among the findings were scattered focal cortical deficits, which were seen in several patients and which ranged in severity from small and few to multiple and large, with a special predilection for the frontal and temporal lobes.

This study studied a group of cocaine-dependent polydrug users with 99mTc-HMPAO and high-resolution SPECT and compared their perfusion pattern to cerebral perfusion in an older control subjects, finding abnormal perfusion characterized primarily as small focal defects involving inferoparietal, temporal, and anterofrontal cortex and basal ganglia.
Cerebral Blood Flow in Chronic Cocaine Users: A Study with Positron Emission Tomography

It is hypothesised that some of the widespread defects in CBF in the cocaine users could reflect the effects of vasospasm in cerebral arteries exposed chronically to the sympathomimetic actions of cocaine.

In the present case "beading" of the intracranial vessels may be related to angiitis induced by methamphetamine, and both the presence of arterial inflammation and increased blood pressure caused by sympathomimetic action of methamphetamine are probably the important factors in the occurrence of intrac Cranial hemorrhage associated with methamphetamine.

The cerebral angiographic findings in 19 drug abuse patients showed irregular segmental areas of constriction with changes of caliber and contour of the vessel walls, but it is possible the changes are due primarily to vasculitis and secondary thrombus formation.

The positive prophylactic effect of small doses of haloperidol on the acute exacerbation may suggest the participation of dopaminergic supersensitivity as a mechanism for the paranoid psychotic state.
