    A lot more tests required I believe.

    Ecstasy causes nerve cells in the brain to release a (temporary) rush of serotonin, resulting in a feeling of wellbeing and happiness. Unfortunately this appears to cause nerve cell damage, although nerve cells to regrow, they appear to be in a denser, abnormal formation.
    From the information, I would guess that Trek-1 inhibits either serotonin production or serotonin receptors. Removal of the inhibion could cause the same long term damage as ecstacy.

    Is that so? I must confess I know nothing of chemicals and biology. Still it is interesting nonetheless, if one day it may be applicable to humans being.

    :lol: :lol: Who's just been fired so I hear!

    Also worthy of note is the factor that (day)light plays in the bodies production/use of seratonin. Night-workers and people towards the pole (read scandinavia) who don't get enough year-round daylight are often more prone to depression.

    Perhaps, rather than giving depressed this kind of treatment, we could give them this kind of mice or some other pets? I sure would feel better having some animal that's always cheery. Althought there would be plenty of arguments about the animal rights I'll wager.
