Updates are intended to keep the literature review current by providing summaries of all papers that discuss MDMA or ecstasy, with a focus on human clinical trials and studies in ecstasy users. All updates include summaries of original research and reviews of studies conducted in humans, in vitro and in non-human animals published in English-language peer-reviewed journals.

Further information about these papers can be found in the MAPS MDMA Bibliography. You can check out new citations, reviews and summaries at www.maps.org/sys/w3pbu.pl.
