HONOLULU (AP) - University of Hawaii researchers are looking into the brains of crystal methamphetamine users to find out the consequences of drug use on newborns, children, adults and former users. The researchers will explore the chemistry, physiology and structure of drug users' brains through the magnetic resonance imagining system at Queen's Medical Center.
"It really affects their ability to function," said Dr. Linda Chang, a university researcher and co-director of the Neuroscience and Imagine Research Program at Queen's Medical Center.
The researchers have received about $15 million from the National Institutes of Health, and they expect another $15 million in other grants.
