TL;DR: The authors examined the extent to which methamphetamine overdose deaths vary by sex and race and ethnicity in the US, and found that the distribution of drug overdose deaths varied by race, ethnicity, and sex.

TL;DR: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—characterized by symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity—is the most prevalent childhood psychiatric disorder that affects children in the United States.

TL;DR: Multiodal imaging findings suggest a novel involvement of the dopaminergic midbrain in sustaining motivation during fatigue, and this region might provide a useful target for strengthening self-control and/or endogenous motivation in addiction.

TL;DR: The aim of this review will be to present the main findings from neuroimaging studies in obese and BED adults and adolescents, as these relate to frontostriatal circuitry, and to emphasize the potential for using functional neuroim imaging in both humans and animals with the scope of obtaining information on developmental and molecular contributions to obesity and B ED.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined structural changes of the brain, observed microglial activation, and assessed changes in brain function, in response to chronic methamphetamine (MA) treatment, and found that chronic HD MA-treated rats had enlarged striatal volumes and increases in [3H]PK 11195 binding in striatum, the nucleus accumbens, frontal cortical areas, the rhinal cortices, and the cerebellar nuclei.
