Default ecstasy and neurons in news again--

http://www.eurekalert.org/bysubject/index.php?kw=150

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.
