  1. This table summarizes the biological processes significantly altered in the frontal cortex (FC) of Dark Agouti (DA) rats after a single-dose 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) treatment (15 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) 3 weeks earlier. The processes were created based on the network analysis of gene set enrichment (GSEA) analysis and individual considerations. All significantly enriched GO terms are included in one of the processes. Downward arrows represent down-, upward arrows represent upregulations. In some of the biological processes both up- and downregulated gene sets were present (mixed up- and downward arrows). See text for further details.
