Methamphetamine (MA) abuse is associated with a propensity for irritability, hostility, and aggression, resulting in high rates of interpersonal violence, emergency department/trauma center visits, assault, weapons charges,1- 9 and, ultimately, public health and safety burdens.10- 11 Despite the frequent co-occurrence of aggression with MA abuse,12- 14 however, the nature of their relationship remains debated.15- 17 Few laboratory studies have evaluated socioemotional function in MA-dependent individuals,18- 19 and only 1 has directly assessed aggression.20 The aim of this study, therefore, was to delineate possible relationships between brain function, emotion processing, and aggression in individuals who abuse MA.
