Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Psychiatric disorders are prevalent mental disorders that affect millions of people worldwide populations. As a leading cause of disability worldwide, psychiatric disorders bring substantial societal costs and economic burden. In the past decade, multiple large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been conducted, and numerous risk loci for psychiatric disorders have been reported. However, how the identified risk variants confer the susceptibility of psychiatric disorders remains largely unknown. In this Special Issue, we focus on the cellular and molecular bases of psychiatric disorders. Studies that translate GWAS findings into the cellular and molecular bases of psychiatric disorders are highly encouraged.
