@article{Advokat2007LiteratureRU, title={Literature Review: Update on Amphetamine Neurotoxicity and Its Relevance to the Treatment of ADHD}, author={C. Advokat}, journal={Journal of Attention Disorders}, year={2007}, volume={11}, pages={16 - 8} }
Objective: A review of amphetamine treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was conducted, to obtain information on the long-term neurological consequences of this therapy. Method: Several databases were accessed for research articles on the effects of amphetamine in the brain of laboratory animals and ADHD diagnosed individuals. Results: In early studies, high doses of amphetamine, comparable to amounts used by addicts, were shown to damage dopaminergic pathways. More… Expand
