PG  - 477-83
AB  - This article reviews the history, pharmacology, and adverse events associated 
      with the use of 3,4-methylenendioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as 
      Ecstasy. Past research describing the neurotoxic effects of MDMA in animals, 
      current research on the neurotoxic effects of MDMA in humans, and the attendant 
      changes in psychologic functioning will be highlighted in this review. Finally, 
      the limitations of human research on the effects of MDMA and suggestions for 
      future MDMA research will be discussed.
