“Neurotoxicity of GHB addiction and GHB-induced coma”

“GHB is an addictive drug with anesthetic effects that is increasingly being used and abused. In higher doses GHB can induce a transient coma lasting up to 7 hours. This project aims to elucidate possible structural and neuropsychological consequences of GHB addiction and repeated experience of GHB-induced comas. For this purpose we use questionnaires and neuropsychological tests as well as MRI scanning methods on human test subjects.”
