Functional recovery of taste sensitivity to sodium chloride depends on regeneration of the chorda tympani nerve after transection in the rat.

abstract：:Among young adults, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, "ecstasy") is a popular drug of abuse, and anecdotal evidence indicates that repeated use of MDMA may result in impairments in sexual function and decreased sex drive in human users. There has been little investigation of the effects of MDMA on sexual functi...
