Abstract

3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) produces an acute release of 5-HT in the brain, together with increased locomotion and hyperthermia. This study examined whether the acute functional changes of locomotor activity and body temperature are related to enhanced 5-HT release induced by MDMA. We concomitantly measured changes in extraneuronal 5-HT by in vivo brain microdialysis and used radiotelemetry to measure locomotion and body temperature to establish whether any positive correlations occur between these three parameters. 'Binge-type' repeated administration of low doses of MDMA (3 and 6 mg/kg given at 2-h intervals three times) were given to provide drug exposure similar to that experienced by recreational drug users. MDMA induced acute hyperactivity, changes in core body temperature (both hypothermia and hyperthermia) and elevation of hippocampal 5-HT overflow, all of which were dependent on the dose of MDMA administered. The change in locomotor activity and the magnitude of the hyperthermia appeared to be unrelated both to each other and to the magnitude of MDMA-induced 5-HT release. The study also found evidence of long-term disruption of novel object discrimination 2 weeks following "binge-type" repeated MD...Continue Reading
