Cognitive degradation and behavior disorder occur under the mental disease caused by stimulant drugs. In this study, it was continuously administered to mice. After that, neuropoiesis of dentate gyrus and trace elements in its brain were analyzed by in-air micro-PIXE. As a result, the distribution of trace elements was different from that of normal mice.
