These 3D brain animations provide clear, engaging, and accessible scientific explanations for meth addiction, offering understanding of the specific ways meth impacts the brain. (Each will open in a new window.)



Trailer: Brain And Behavior

Meth Inside Out Brain and Behavior Trailer

Brain And Behavior equips viewers with an understanding of how meth changes the brain and, consequently, behavior.

 


Brain Animation:
Normal Dopamine Neurotransmission

Normal Dopamine Neurotransmission

This animation demonstrates how dopamine neurotransmission works in response to natural pleasures like eating, before meth enters the picture.

 

Brain Animation:
Meth And Dopamine Neurotransmission

Meth and Dopamine Neurotransmission

Meth use causes a massive release of dopamine, the brain's pleasure chemical. This animation shows the biology of the meth high.

 



Brain Animation: Tolerance

Tolerance

Over time, people develop tolerance to meth. This animation illustrates how prolonged meth use impacts the brain’s dopamine system, making it harder to get high.
