Methamphetamine use and cognitive function: A systematic review of neuroimaging research

Amphetamines, a group of stimulants that includes amphetamine and methamphetamine (MA), are the second most abused worldwide after cannabis (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2017a). Global prevalence for amphetamines in 2015 was estimated to be 0.8%. In some parts of the world, the numbers are higher; prevalence in North America was 2.0% and in Oceania was 1.9%. The global market for amphetamines was dominated by MA, which accounted for 72% of the global seizures of amphetamines (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2017b).
