Methamphetamine (MA) is one of the most abused illicit drugs in the world. The abuse of this drug among adolescents is problematic due to the still developing physiological functions of the body, including the central nervous system (CNS). The hippocampus (HP) is a part of the limbic system that is associated with cognition, as well as the reward system, which is mediated by dopamine (DA). Disruption of this system is the basic mechanism underlying addiction and results in cognition deficiencies.In this work, we focused on the influence of MA on the development of the HP during postnatal days
