How ecstasy promotes teamwork

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A chemical responsible for the'loved-up' effects of the party drug ecstasy promotes teamwork but not gullibility, research suggests. Scientists found that MDMA, the drug's main active ingredient, made people better cooperators - but only when they trusted one another. They suggest that MDMA fires up parts of the brain involved in understanding the thoughts, beliefs and intentions of other people. The find could help researchers looking to treat psychological conditions such as PTSD, scientists said. Experts took brain scans of people on MDMA.
