MDMA relaxes the amygdala, directs energy towards the prefrontal cortex, and increases prefrontal cortex-hippocampus connectivity to facilitate memory recall.

“mdma affects three primary centers this is not an exhaustive list but if we just like break it down and into these three primary areas we can see how mdma is so fascinating and it's so good for ptsd because it relaxes the amygdala the fear center it brings more energy and valence towards the prefrontal cortex which is where we hold our witness perspective and it increases the blood flow and connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus so along with that witness you get better memory”
