However, as highly normalised among their...
Background: While (±)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) primarily induces serotonin release, it also affects dopamine and noradrenaline transmission. It is, however, unclear what role each of these neurotransmitters play in the behavioural profile MDMA. Methods: In this study we used drug discrimination (DD) acoustic startle (ASR) paradigms to examine behaviour rats with without a genetic deletion transporter SERT (SERT −/− +/+ rats). DD, were trained respond on different levers...
