The widespread use of 'party drugs' (ecstasy, methamphetmaine and GHB) is a major health issue in Australia. We propose a novel hypothesis that key acute and long-term effects of these drugs may involve an action on the neuropeptide oxytocin. A number of experiments are planned to test this hypothesis. The findings from this project will be used to better understand and to explore novel treatments for people who suffer problems as a result of using these drugs.

在澳大利亚，广泛使用“派对毒品”（摇头丸、甲基苯丙胺和GHB）是一个主要的健康问题。我们提出了一个新的假设，这些药物的关键急性和长期影响可能涉及对神经肽催产素的作用。计划进行一些实验来检验这一假设。该项目的研究结果将用于更好地了解和探索因使用这些药物而遭受问题的人的新治疗方法。
