Amphetamine (AMPH) and methamphetamine (METH) are members of a collection of phenethylamine psychostimulants that are commonly referred to collectively as amphetamines. Amphetamines exert their effects, in part, by affecting neuronal dopamine transport. This review thus focuses on the effects of AMPH and METH on the plasmalemmal dopamine transporter and the vesicular monoamine transporter-2 in animal models with a particular emphasis on how these effects, which may vary for the different stereoisomers, contribute to persistent dopaminergic deficits.
