Public Release: 18-Oct-2006 Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience Research links 'ecstasy' to survival of key movement-related cells in brain New research from the University of Cincinnati suggests that the widely abused club drug "ecstasy," or MDMA, can increase the survival of dopamine cells in the brain during fetal development. Because these cells are critical in the regulation of voluntary movement, the findings, the researchers say, may lead to better therapies for neurological diseases like Parkinson's.
