| | NIDA NOTES - "Ecstasy" Damages the Brain and Impairs Memory in Humans |
 | | Research on the functional consequences of MDMA-induced damage of serotonin-producing neurons in humans is at an early stage, and the scientists who conducted the studies cannot say definitively that the harm to brain serotonin neurons shown in the imaging study accounts for the memory impairments found among chronic users of the drug. | | | Using advanced brain imaging techniques, the study found that MDMA harms neurons that release serotonin, a brain chemical thought to play an important role in regulating memory and other functions. | | | As had been found in the brain imaging study, MDMA's harmful effects were dose-relatedÑthe more MDMA people used, the greater difficulty they had in recalling what they had seen and heard during testing. |

| | From a neurological point of view ECT is a method of producing amnesia by selectively damaging the temporal lobes and the structures within them. | | | All of these critical brain structures are just beneath the thin squamous plate of the temporal bone. | | | Lancaster and associates (49) advocated the use of unilateral non-dominant ECT in treating patients who earn their livelihood with retained knowledge. |

| | Cerebral palsy is a combination of chronic conditions affecting muscle coordination and body movement and is caused by damage to certain areas of the brain usually occurring in the early stages of life or during development of the fetus. | | | Therefore, it is an aftereffect of damage to motor areas in the brain controlling movement or posture rather than damage to individual muscles. | | | Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive condition; however, certain other side effects such as muscle spasticity can develop at later stages and can get progressively worse or improve depending on the specifics of person's condition. |
