Systematic Review on Ferroptosis in Drug-Induced Neurological Damage
This review summarizes evidence suggesting that ferroptosis is linked to neurological damage caused by drugs and the activation of microglia. It highlights that preventing ferroptosis could reduce some harmful effects associated with substance use disorders.

Why it matters
Understanding the role of ferroptosis in drug-related brain changes is crucial as it could open up new avenues for addressing substance use disorders in the future.
What this does not prove
The study lacks explicit clinical results and outlines the complexity of understanding the mechanisms behind substance use disorders.
