Memory deficits of MDMA users are linked to cortical thinning related to 5-HT receptor densities

Brain October 19, 2025 Rebecca C Coray, Vincent Beliveau, Josua Zimmermann et al. 1 citation

Regular recreational use of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, "Ecstasy") has been consistently linked to verbal memory dysfunctions, whose neurobiological origins remain unclear. Although neurochemical, structural, and functional alterations resulting from repeated MDMA intake have been identified in user populations, only limited knowledge exists regarding potential interrelationships...

Conflict monitoring and emotional processing in 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and methamphetamine users - A comparative neurophysiological study.

NeuroImage. Clinical 2024 Antje Opitz, Josua Zimmermann, David M. Cole et al. 2 citations

In stimulant use and addiction, conflict control processes are crucial for regulating substance use and sustaining abstinence, which can be particularly challenging in social-affective situations. Users of methamphetamine (METH, "Ice") and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, "Ecstasy") both experience impulse control deficits, but display different social-affective and addictive profiles....

White matter alterations in chronic MDMA use: Evidence from diffusion tensor imaging and neurofilament light chain blood levels

NeuroImage: Clinical September 19, 2022 Josua Zimmermann, Nicole Friedli, Francesco Bavato et al. 14 citations

3,4–Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, “Ecstasy”) is a serotonin- and noradrenaline-releasing substance, currently among the most widely used illicit substances worldwide. In animal studies, repeated exposure to MDMA has been associated with dendritic but also axonal degeneration in the brain. However, translation of the axonal findings, specifically, to humans has been repeatedly questioned...
