COMPARISON - The team, formed by Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in collaboration with the University of East London (UEL) and Swansea University, UK, has compared, at the time of birth and four months of life, some infants whose mothers had taken the amazing pregnant with a sample of "normal" children. Comparing the data showed that the children of young consumers of ecstasy were more often male and had deficits of movement and coordination skills .
STUDY - In essence, the assumption of chemical drugs affect the kind that the study involved a sample of 96 persons and was published in the journal Neurotoxicology and Teratology. In addition, the tablet would have a very significant impact on gait and coordination skills of children, particularly in eye movement and hand, to balance your head and sit without any support. The stresses Derek Moore, a professor of psychology at UEL, adding that they also suggest other side effects long term, as a reduction of memory performance and learning and even emotional development (the authors of the study will continue to monitor the children until ' age of 18 months). Andy Parrott, of the University of Swansea, shows that the impact of ecstasy on the fetus is extremely serious, but not surprising . "This drug may reduce the level of serotonin in fact, which is an important neurotransmitter and is crucial for a number of brain function including motor control, but also the regulation of mood and sleep."
The tablet OF RAVE - The damage of the rest of rave drugs have long been known and not surprising that also have an influence on the fetus of the mother who uses it. In particular, note the action of the drug on serotonin. The substance damages the so-called serotonergic neurons, compromising the ability of the brain to integrate information and emotions. Understandable and predictable were the difficulties, both ethical than practical, the scientific assessment by the British team. Young mothers often consuming ecstasy were also making use of other drugs, but users of this drug have reported discomfort is particularly evident with regard to employment status, and for the social and health problems. Yet for many users this derivative of amphetamine is still not perceived in all its dangers. Including some future mother still unaware of the ongoing pregnancy and the effects of ' prenatal exposure to ecstasy .
