Methamphetamine addiction: involvement of CREB and neuroinflammatory signaling pathways.

abstract：:Evidence has been provided for impaired neurotransmitter functioning in the brain of elderly subjects. In order to assess central GABAergic transmission, the activity of the hypothalamic GABA system may be investigated by basal growth hormone (GH) response to the GABAergic drug sodium valproate (SV). For this purpose ...
