What are the effects of MDMA use?MDMA stimulates the release of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, from brain neurons producing a high that lasts from 3 to 6 hours, but the length of a high is variable based on the user. The drug's rewarding effects vary with the ...
Research in animals indicates that this drug, also referred to as MDMA or Molly, is neurotoxic and may affect the brain. Clinical studies suggest that ecstasy may increase the risk of long-term or permanent problems with memory and learning. What happens to your body when Ecstasy is used?
BRAIN damageN-Methyl-3, 4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDMA), or ecstasy is a recreational drug of abuse. It is a synthetic substance that affects the body's systems, which its mechanism of action and treatment should be more investigated. MDMA provides an immediate enjoyable...
(Medical Xpress) -- Researchers from UCL and Imperial College London are carrying out a neuroscience study to examine for the first time how the resting brain responds to MDMA, the pure form of the Class A drug ecstasy. The study is funded by Channel 4,
Recent studies have demonstrated a similar acute effect of (MDMA) in blood platelets and brain tissue via action on the transporter. To investigate the validity of blood as a peripheral marker for central in this regard, we administered MDMA (20 mg/kg i.p.) to and observed a parallel decre...
In contrast to reported effects of MDMA in the rat, the highest dose of MDMA transiently elevated mouse brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 3 hours following drug treatment. Levels of dopamine were not significantly affected. 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid were significantly ...
3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), a common recreational drug, is known to cause serotonergic neurotoxicity in the brain. Dextromethorphan (DM) is a widely used antitussive reported to exert anti-inflammatory effect in vivo. In this study, we examined the long-term effect of MDMA on the ...
MDMA may produce these effects in part by increasing release of oxytocin. In addition to its effects on dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine in the brain (Han and Gu, 2006; Rothman et al, 2001; Verrico et al, 2007), MDMA also appears to release oxytocin. In rats, MDMA increases ...
