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 Cellular 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 Cellular Neuroscience and Addiction and on the challenges ahead while providing a thorough overview of the state of the art in Cellular Neuroscience. This article collection is intended to inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
This Research Topic is focused on
• Mechanisms behind how drugs abuse can alter synaptic transmission
• How drug abuse contribute to acute intoxication as well as chronic effects on the body
• Mechanism behind how GPCRs are targets for many pharmacotherapeutic agents
• Models on how Drugs of abuse directly or indirectly affect neuromodulation that are facilitated by GPCRs,
• The effects this has on intoxication, drug taking responses to prolonged drug exposure, withdrawal and overall long lasting addiction
• Evidence suggesting that presynaptic Gi/o-coupled GPCRs have critical roles in the actions of abusive drugs, as well as the behaviours related to these drugs.
• Emphasis on the effects of drugs of receptors for the neurotransmitters Dopamine, Endocannabinoids and glutamate
• How these receptors are important in the acute and chronic effects of numerous drugs, as well as in the control of drug seeking and taking
• New insights into addiction pharmacotherapy
