DIFFERENTIAL VULNERABILITY OF LOCUS COERULEUS AND DORSAL RAPHE NEURONS TO CHRONIC METHAMPHETAMINE-INDUCED DEGENERATION

Differential vulnerability of locus coeruleus and dorsal raphe neurons to chronic methamphetamine-induced degeneration

Methamphetamine (meth) increases monoamine oxidase (MAO)-dependent mitochondrial stress in axons of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), and ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons.Chronic administration of meth results in SNc degeneration and MAO inhibition is neuroprotective, whereas, the VTA is resistant to degeneration.This differential
