Acute and long-term effects of a single dose of MDMA on aggression in Dark Agouti rats
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that in the resident-intruder test, aggressive behaviour and acute anti-aggressive effects of MDMA and 5-HT1B receptor agonists remain intact 3 wk after a single dose of the drug despite significant damage to the serotonergic system.

TL;DR: The results suggest that a crucial part of inherited factors of depression is mediated by affective temperaments, and they are all significantly related to AFH(1).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined personality dimensions measured by the Tridimensional Character Inventory (TCI) in psychiatrically healthy women not suffering from premenstrual dysphoric disorder (NS), selfdirectedness (S), cooperation (C) and self-transcendence (ST), and found that this personality profile is a protective factor against developing serious psychiatric symptoms when experiencing a distressing and more marked symptomatology associated with the late luteal phase of the reproductive cycle.
