Inflammasome Inhibitor MCC950 Attenuates Methamphetamine-Induced Hippocampal Neurotoxicity and Aberrant Neurogenesis in a Sex-Dependent Manner

Methamphetamine (METH) is a known proinflammatory agent; however, the impacts of inflammasomes on its neurotoxic effects are not fully understood. In the present study, we assessed the impact of prolonged METH administration on the hippocampal inflammasome profile in male and fem...
