And so. We were looking around for different ways to reopen it. And we knew that MDMA was a psychedelic drug that was special and different from most other psychedelics because it had this ability to induce pro-social behavior. You know, kids were taking these drugs and going to raves and doing, you know, 60-person cuddle puddles.

Yeah. I mean, it's a very powerful drug, and it does have these very profound effects on people. So then we thought, well, if MDMA is able to induce a massive release of oxytocin, which there was some evidence from other labs showing that, we thought maybe this would be a really cool way to

to reopen this critical period by triggering this massive oxytocin release that could prepare the neuron to learn from its social environment again.

In this experiment, we were giving the MDMA and then waiting for two days. So they're no longer actively tripping. They're no longer actively cuddle puddling or doing anything like that.

No, we could have, but we didn't. Okay. I don't know if you've seen people on psychedelics, but unless there's a DJ, you know, they can look very boring on the outside, right?

Unbeknownst to us. So, no, so it wasn't like that. Basically, what happened was is that then they had a how-much-do-you-care-about-social-interaction quiz, essentially. Like, we tested them on... Can you learn from your social group again? So we say, OK, here's two new types of bedding. And we want you to tell us which one you like better by how much time you spend on them.

And when we did that test, these were adult animals. But the ones that had gotten MDMA two days later when they go into the bedding, it's like, oh, I like this bedding because I remember that all my buddies like this bedding and that's where I found my buddies is on this bedding. So I like this bedding, not this other bedding, right?
