-'''MDMA, also known as ecstasy or Molly, is a synthetic drug produces both amphetamine-like stimulation and mild [[hallucinations]].''' MDMA works by decreasing the activity in the limbic system – a set of structures involved in emotional responses. In addition, communication between the medial temporal lobe and medial prefrontal cortex, which is involved in emotional control, is reduced. These effects combined are opposite to patterns seen in patients who suffer from anxiety.
+'''MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy or Molly, is a synthetic drug that induces both amphetamine-like stimulation and mild [[hallucinations]].''' The mechanism of action involves a decrease in activity within the limbic system, a group of structures responsible for emotional responses. Furthermore, there is a reduction in communication between the medial temporal lobe and the medial prefrontal cortex, which play roles in emotional control. Collectively, these effects are contrary to the patterns observed in individuals experiencing anxiety.
