Abstract 3,4‐Methylenedioxymethamphetamine damages fine serotonergic fibers and nerve terminals in adult organisms. Developing animals seem to be less susceptible to this effect, possibly due to a lack of drug‐induced hyperthermia. We tested this hypothesis by producing hyperthermia in neonatal rats for 2 h after each of twice‐daily MDMA (10 mg/kg s.c.) or saline injections administered from...
