“euphoria” - Ecstasy affects the neurotransmitters of serotonin‚ norepinephrine‚ dopamine‚ & oxytocin. Ecstasy enters neurons through the use of monoamine transporters & then inhibits the transporter; this inhibition INCREASES the levels of activity of neurotransmitters (serotonin‚ norepinephrine‚ & dopamine). Low levels of euphoria feelings are associated with dopamine and serotonin. Increase in oxytocin leads to more trust and decrease in fear 2. What behavioral effects does MDMA produce?

Toddlers and infants demonstrate an ability not seen in many adults‚ the want to care for‚ and provide abetment for others. This instinct comes from the exercise of altruism‚ which releases the beneficial drugs; oxytocin‚ dopamine‚ and endorphins‚ within the body. However‚ as mentioned previously this capacity does not last for very long after these young children begin to mature. In an experiment carried out by American developmental psychologist‚ Michael Tomasello‚ infant altruism was studied through

In “Fighting Bullying With Babies” David Bornstein illustrates the ability of infants to awaken empathy in young children. Bornstein begins his proposal by recalling the tragic events surrounding the suicide of Tyler Clementi‚ a college student who committed suicide after being overwhelmed by a developing trend known as cyber-bulling. He then briefly mentions what is already being done about bullying i.e. getting tough. Bornstein uses this point to segue into what he truly wants to discuss – a new
