3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a popular recreational drug that has rewarding properties in rodents but little is known about its effects at the cellular and molecular levels. We have previously shown that the ERK pathway is important for the regulation in gene expression observed in mice striatum after acute treatment with MDMA. Interestingly, three dual specificity phosphatases...
3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), a widely used recreational drug with psychoactive properties, induces both serotonin and dopamine release in the brain. In rats and mice MDMA induces behavioural changes and has rewarding effects but little is known about its cellular effects. We have previously shown that the ERK pathway is important for the changes in gene expression observed in mice...
