As we enter the third decade of the 21st Century major advances in the fast-growing field of mental health have been exceptional. Frontiers have organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advances in mental health research.
The Neuroscience portfolio at Frontiers is launching Research Topics to promote international scientific awareness of mental health disorders. Over the past few decades, major progress has been made toward addressing inequalities for people with mental health Disorders, which have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic with disproportionate increases in loneliness, disruptions to routines, and services and support systems.
This Research Topic article collection will focus on neuroscience research that can inform solutions for creating a culture of awareness, understanding, and solidarity, with this Topic focusing on the progress and challenges still faced in understanding the Molecular Neuroscience of Addiction.
The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions from researchers around the globe that describe the state of the art, outline recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and what needs to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in their sub-disciplines, and to formulate how to begin to address those challenges.
This special edition Research Topic aims to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the field of Molecular Neuroscience and Addiction and on the challenges ahead while providing a thorough overview of the state of the art in Molecular Neuroscience. This article collection is intended to inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
This topic focuses on, but is not limited to studies:-
• Examining why chronic drug exposure can cause stable changes in the brain at the molecular and cellular levels that underlie behavioural abnormalities
• identifying the mechanisms that contribute to long-lived neural and behavioural plasticity related to addiction
• drug-induced changes in gene transcription, in RNA and protein processing, and in synaptic structure
• specific changes identified that account for the long-lasting behaviour changes associated with addiction
• New insights into the Neurobiology of addiction
• Acute molecular actions of drugs of abuse
• Transcriptional mechanisms associated with addiction
• Post-transcriptional mechanisms associated with addiction
• Investigating the relationship of addiction to other forms of stable plasticity
