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[+][-]
