UC Davis Imaging Research Center, 4701 X Street, Sacramento, CA, USA
Curr Top Behav Neurosci 11:321-64. 2012..In our conclusion we discuss some of the future directions of neuroimaging as it relates to the pathophysiology of addiction...
Distributed attentional deficits in chronic methamphetamine abusers: evidence from the Attentional Network Task (ANT)Ruth Salo
Dept of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, CA, USA
Brain Cogn 77:446-52. 2011..The goal of the present study was to examine distributed attentional functions in long-term but currently abstinent methamphetamine (MA) abusers using a task that measures attentional alertness, orienting, and conflict resolution...

Center for Neuroscience, University of California, Davis 95616, USA
J Abnorm Psychol 106:639-43. 1997..The study of sequential inhibitory processes and their response to neuroleptic treatment could be important methods for understanding the temporal parameters associated with inhibition in schizophrenia...
Spatial inhibition and the visual cortex: a magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging studyR Salo
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, CA, USA
Neuropsychologia 49:830-8. 2011..As psychostimulants such as methamphetamine (MA) are particularly neurotoxic to the dopaminergic system it was of interest to examine the performance of MA-dependent individuals on a task of spatial attention...
Extended findings of brain metabolite normalization in MA-dependent subjects across sustained abstinence: a proton MRS studyRuth Salo
Dept of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, CA 95817, USA
Drug Alcohol Depend 113:133-8. 2011..The goal of the present study was to extend our previous findings on long-term methamphetamine (MA) use and drug abstinence on brain metabolite levels in an expanded group of MA-dependent individuals...
Drug abstinence and cognitive control in methamphetamine-dependent individualsRuth Salo
UC Davis Imaging Research Center, 4701 X Street, Sacramento, CA, USA
J Subst Abuse Treat 37:292-7. 2009..87). Stroop RT interference correlated positively with both duration of drug use (p = .003) and drug abstinence (p = .05). The data in the current study provide evidence that cognitive function may improve with protracted drug abstinence...
Impaired prefrontal cortical function and disrupted adaptive cognitive control in methamphetamine abusers: a functional magnetic resonance imaging studyRuth Salo
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, USA
Biol Psychiatry 65:706-9. 2009..Deficits in behavioral control are thought to be one contributing factor to the sustainment of addictive behaviors in MA abuse...

Biol Psychiatry 61:1272-80. 2007..Methamphetamine abuse is associated with neurotoxicity to frontostriatal brain regions with concomitant deleterious effects on cognitive processes...
A dissociation in attentional control: evidence from methamphetamine dependenceRuth Salo
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Imaging Research Center, University of California Davis 95817, USA
Biol Psychiatry 57:310-3. 2005..The goal of this study was to test whether task-shifting, selective inhibition, or both processes were impaired in long-term but currently abstinent methamphetamine-dependent individuals...
Immediate versus sustained processing in schizophreniaRuth Salo
Department of Psychiatry and Center for Neuroscience, University of California, Davis 95616, USA
J Int Neuropsychol Soc 8:794-803. 2002..4 years; p < .05). Positive symptom ratings were also significantly higher in the inpatients. The finding of reduced NP in the state hospital patients appears to be related to severity of symptomatology and chronicity of illness...
Preliminary evidence of reduced cognitive inhibition in methamphetamine-dependent individualsRuth Salo
Department of Psychiatry, UC Davis Medical Center, 2230 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Psychiatry Res 111:65-74. 2002..Furthermore, the dissociation between explicit attentional performance and priming effects suggests that some attentional functions are not as affected by long-term methamphetamine use as others...
Overlapping cognitive patterns in schizophrenia and methamphetamine dependenceRuth Salo
Department of Psychiatry, UC Davis Medical Center, University of California, Sacramento, CA, USA
Cogn Behav Neurol 24:187-93. 2011..To examine whether overlapping cognitive deficits exist in currently drug-abstinent chronic methamphetamine (MA) abusers and schizophrenia (SZ) patients...
Is filtering difficulty the basis of attentional deficits in schizophrenia?Susan M Ravizza
Department of Psychology, University of California, Davis, CA, USA
Psychiatry Res 151:201-9. 2007..The current findings also suggest that when a course of action is not implied by an irrelevant feature, outpatients' behavior is not modulated by extraneous visual information any more than in healthy controls...
