European Journal of Pharmacology March 10, 2023 Hirohito Esaki, Yuki Sasaki, Naoya Nishitani et al.
3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), a recreational drug, induces euphoric sensations and psychosocial effects, such as increased sociability and empathy.

In the present study, we investigated whether...
