In summary, the data from both neurochemical and neuroanatomical studies demonstrate widespread and long-lasting degeneration of serotonin neurons in brain without any major or consistent effects on catecholamine neurons following in vivo administration of MDMA in both rats and rhesus monkeys. A detailed examination of the parameters involved in the neurotoxic and neurodegenerative effects of...
