Investigations into the potential for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine to induce neurotoxic terminal damage to serotonergic neurons
High doses of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; "Ecstasy") are known to reduce levels of various serotonergic markers outside of the raphe nuclei. To test the hypothesis that these deficits reflect a degeneration of distal axons/terminals, we investigated the effects of an MDMA bing...
