c)DA

Auditory hallucinations are one of the most salient features of schizophrenia and are thought to be paralleled by a number of illegally abused substances, including cocaine, phencyclidine (PCP), and MDMA (methylenedioxymethanphetamine – also known as “ecstasy”).

Examining the molecular effects of these drugs should only increase our understanding of the mechanisms of hallucinations associated with schizophrenia. Indeed, all of three of these drugs have been shown to act in an agonistic fashion towards the dopamine system.
