摘要
We are delighted to have been invited to edit this Special Topic on Mental Health and Addiction. Mental disorders like drug addiction, mood disorders, and schizophrenia affect a sizeable proportion of the human population, severely compromise the quality of life, and constitute a large global burden of disease. The evolution of molecular, cellular, and neurophysiological studies of rodents and the technical advances in human imaging and assessment have gradually extended our understanding of the molecular and neural mechanisms underlying these disorders.
