Context‐dependent behavioural and neuronal sensitization in striatum to MDMA (ecstasy) administration in rats

Abstract

To investigate the neuronal mechanisms underlying the behavioural alterations that accompany repeated exposure to MDMA (ecstasy), we recorded the activity of> 200 striatal units in response to multiple, intermittent, locomotor‐activating doses (5.0 mg/kg) of MDMA …
