Radiology 220:611-617, Reneman,L.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Eight abstinent ecstasy users and six ecstasy non -users underwent diffusion and perfusion MR imaging. Ecstasy use is associated with tissue changes in the globus pallidus. These findings are in agreement with findings in case reports, sugges ting that the globus pallidus is particularly sensitive to the effects of ecstasy.
