Study at a glance
AI-extracted from the abstract| Characteristics | Observational cohort Peer reviewed |
|---|---|
| Population | Abstinent human polydrug users with and without a history of MDMA use |
| Topics | MDMA |
| Key findings | MDMA use was associated with reduced BOLD signal change during semantic recognition in abstinent polydrug users, indicating a possible long-term neural effect. The authors suggest this may reflect altered semantic processing, but caution that the study is preliminary and confounded by polydrug use. |
