Methamphetamine and Paranoia: The Methamphetamine Experience Questionnaire [PDF]

The American Journal on Addictions, 2010
Paranoia in methamphetamine (MA) users is not well characterized or understood. To investigate this phenomenon, we created the Methamphetamine Experience Questionnaire (MEQ), and tested its reliability and validity in assessing MA‐induced paranoia. We administered the MEQ to 274 MA‐dependent subjects. Of the total subjects, 45% (123) first experienced

A Spontaneous Mutation in Taar1 Impacts Methamphetamine-Related Traits Exclusively in DBA/2 Mice from a Single Vendor

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Major gene effects on traits associated with substance use disorders are rare. Previous findings in methamphetamine drinking (MADR) lines of mice, bred for high or low voluntary MA intake, and in null mutants demonstrate a major impact of the trace amine-

Taar1 gene variants have a causal role in methamphetamine intake and response and interact with Oprm1

eLife, 2019
We identified a locus on mouse chromosome 10 that accounts for 60% of the genetic variance in methamphetamine intake in mice selectively bred for high versus low methamphetamine consumption. We nominated the trace amine-associated receptor 1 gene, Taar1,
