Many of the subjects of these studies volunteered for demanding clinical protocols, potentially rendering them not totally representative of all individuals in the population with the same phenotypes. Some of the subjects for this work have also come to clinical attention due to specific clinical features, including presentation to emergency rooms with methamphetamine psychosis or presentation to memory clinics with memory complaints. These selection criteria might not allow these individuals to completely represent all individuals who display the phenotype or disorder.
