Question

hey,

My teacher assigned me a project on Ecstasy and how it affects the brain. I anyone has answers please answer ASAP thanks.

Answer 1

Ecstasy acts on the serotonin system - the part of the brain that controls our sense of wellbeing. Just how it does so, and whether it causes long term damage, is still unknown. We know that MDMA causes neurotoxicity in monkeys and rats, but this doesn't necessarily prove that it does so in humans. Still, a lot of evidence suggests that in the longer term, moderate and heavy users may be putting themselves at risk.

Answer 2

I would suggest you do some research through the library and online about what ecstasy is and how it alters the mind and it's perceptions of reality including damage to the brain. I do not have a large knowledge base with ecstasy but I am sure you could find some good information online.
