NIH-funded research project studying the impact of methamphetamine-induced sleep disruption on cognitive impairment using rhesus monkeys, exploring therapeutic interventions to improve sleep and cognition.
Description
This research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) aims to evaluate the hypothesis that sleep disruption caused by methamphetamine use leads to cognitive deficits. The study involves assessing sleep and cognitive function in rhesus monkeys, including potential therapeutic intervention using suvorexant. The project addresses the rising use of methamphetamine and associated cognitive and sleep impairments, with the goal of developing strategies to improve treatment outcomes for substance use disorders.
