The threshold lowering effects of MDMA (ecstasy) on brain-stimulation reward.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Alterations in protein kinase (PKA) protein levels have been implicated in the regulation of responses to and development of cocaine addiction. However, the contribution of differences in PKA intracellular cascade to the known sex differences in responses to cocaine is not well understood. This study exami...
