26 September- Reuters Health reports the club drug Ecstasy may damage a broader range of brain cells than most research has suggested, according to a new study in monkeys. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that one round of the drug, designed to simulate what many Ecstasy users take in a night, was toxic to dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Earlier this month, US health officials reported that the number of Americans using Ecstasy went up 25% between 2000 and 2001. The full report can be found in Science 2002;297:2260-2263.
