Cubebin Attenuates Methamphetamine-Induced Neurotoxicity Through CREB/BDNF/Caspase-3 Signaling: In Vivo and In Silico Study

<i>Background and Objectives:</i> Methamphetamine (METH) is a potent psychostimulant known to induce neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration, leading to cognitive impairment. This study aimed to explore cubebin’s potential neuroprotective effects against METH-induced cognitive deficits by in...
