  MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine) primarily affects the brain by altering the activity of certain neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

This flood of serotonin contributes to the feelings of euphoria, empathy, and emotional openness associated with MDMA use. Serotonin reuptake inhibition: MDMA also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, meaning it blocks the reabsorption of serotonin into the neurons that released it.

Dopamine and norepinephrine effects: MDMA also affects dopamine and norepinephrine, although to a lesser extent than serotonin. It increases t...
