Background: The administration of 3-4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) leads to learning and memory impairment. Objectives: Due to the effect of neurogenesis on memory and learning, in this study, we investigated the effects of MDMA on NeuN expression (a marker of neurogenesis) in the hippocampus. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats (weighing 200 - 250 g) received a single ...
