EEG and neurocognitive changes in chronic methamphetamine abuse

Original language description

Methamphetamine is a potent and highly addictive psychostimulant that has become very popular on the illicit drug market. There is a large amount of literature regarding the neurocognitive changes associated with chronic methamphetamine exposure that arepresent in currently abstinent individuals. However, the evidence about the possible reversibility of such changes is less clear and only sparse data exists concerning the electroencephalographic (EEG) changes in methamphetamine users. We present a caseof a 38 year old male with a 10 year history of continuous abuse of high doses of methamphetamine. The patient has been incapable of adequate social functioning for the last two years and during that period has also been repeatedly admitted to a psychiatric ward due to methamphetamine associated aggressive behavior. After 25 days of abstinence, neurocognitive testing revealed mild cognitive impairment that was most pronounced in psychomotor speed and sequencing in working memory. EEG as
