There was no difference between the MDMA- and saline-treated rats regarding the (+/-)-DOI-induced (0.625, 1.25 or 2.5 mg/kg, i.p.) increase and decrease in the head twitch response and horizontal locomotor activity, respectively. Overall, repeated MDMA does not alter the behavioral response of rats to (+/-)-DOI.
