The party drug MDMA (“ecstasy”) shows promising efficacy as adjunct to psychotherapy. The psychostimulant with entactogenic properties is known to induce arousal and euphoria. We now studied the neurochemistry underlying the behavioral effects of MDMA in rats lacking serotonin in the brain.

Just attended another interesting meeting organized by #StichtingMarguerite-MarieDelacroix. Very intriguing talks and discussions. I’m very glad to be part of this! Thanks to the organizing committee and scientific board, and for the inspiring words by Prof. Dr. Rudy Van Coster.

There is always a bit of time for fun! Last week we had a LBP social event with a customised quiz about our colleagues and faculty, pizza and..
