New insights could boost treatment for P addiction
A Kiwi researcher’s discovery of new ways methamphetamine can alter the brain could help the development of new drug-based therapies for addiction treatment.
In 2009, New Zealand had one of the highest rates of P users in the world, and today, more than 25,000 Kiwis were estimated to still be using the drug.
Now, new research by a Victoria of University of Wellington graduate has provided valuable insights into how the brain’s natural reward pathways are strongly stimulated following exposure to methamphetamine.
