Abstract
Alterations of the human brain due to MDMA use are a focus of ongoing research. MDMA abuse produces both short and long-term effects on brain; MDMA-induced functional alterations of the serotonergic system are reported to alter local energy metabolism of cortical and subcortical structures. Presently, there are no FDG-PET experimental studies reported in animals. The aim of this study is to assess these brain glucose metabolism changes after a single dose of MDMA in rats by using FDG-PET
