MDMA reduces activity in the amygdala, increases activity in the prefrontal cortex and increases connectivity between the amygdala and the hippocampus to remit traumatic memories to move into long-term storage.
MDMA smanjuje aktivnost amigdale, pojačava aktivnost frontalnog korteksa i jača veze amigdale i hipokampusa kako traumatska sjećanja ne bi bila dugoročno pohranjena.
