Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly become a central topic in AI and cognitive science, due to their unprecedented performance in a vast array of tasks. Indeed, some even see "sparks of artificial general intelligence" in their apparently boundless faculty for conversation and reasoning.

Neurotensin is one of the genes previously found up-regulated in mice striatum after acute injection of MDMA (9 mg/kg). In order to examine the pharmacological significance of this effect, the involvement of the neurotensinergic system in MDMA-induced behaviors was explored in mice using the neurotensin receptor antagonist SR142948A (1mg/kg). We found that acute administration of the antagonist...
