Current Pharmacology PhD student here... MDMA is definitely neurotoxic. This has been documented countless times in literature. Have a review... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20420572

Or if you don't have access, have a newer article, from the website you posted: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/12/111205165114.htm

This makes me feel way better about my $82k loan for a degree in medical science.

Hi! I'm a neuroscience PhD student. I read 'Survival of the Sickest' long ago and it's good to hear you have a new book coming out!

In your opinion, how well are epigenetic mechanisms elucidated? Can you think of any specifically? If every experience affects the amount of DNA methylation and histone acetylation, how are we ever going to be able to apply it to real world situations?

My background is in human physiology/pharmacology. I would love to read your book and I'm sure it would answer most of the questions that immediately come to mind. But basically, what do you think is something currently applied in the care of animals that could potentially be applied/studied in care of human patients?

Are you watching the new 'Cosmos'? Do you love it?
