Description	In aggressive mice in both groups, vehicle and MDMA pre-treated animals, the drug caused highly significant inhibition of all aggressive activities with the significant increase of defensive-escape behaviour and ambivalent of walking. However, there were no significant differences between group sensitized with vehicle and the other one sensitized with MDMA.
