Advances in Neural Mechanisms and Targeted Therapy for Psychiatric Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, psychiatric diseases lack effective treatment, and their precise mechanisms remain unclear.

The Special issue on “Advances in Neural Mechanisms and Targeted Therapy for Psychiatric Diseases” aims to present a collection of the latest advances in the field of psychiatric diseases and targeted therapies.

Authors are invited to submit cutting-edge research and reviews revealing the underpinning of psychiatric diseases, as well as targeted therapies, including genomic, transcriptomic, cellular and molecular, pathology, neuroimaging, behavior, and clinical research.

In particular, we aim to present advances in psychiatric diseases treatment that may have strong translational potential for clinical practice.
