  Brain disorders including psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative disorders are some of the most common and debilitating health issues, yet we don’t have effective treatments for most of them, despite intensive research and drug development efforts. In fact, few mechanistically new therapeutics have been developed in the past 60 years. However, recent development of breakthrough technologies including genome-editing, single cell transcriptomics and functional actuators of cells and circuits has revolutionized our ways of studying brain function and dysfunction. I will use psychiatric disorders as an example to illustrate how these new technologies are fueling the development of new therapeutics for brain disorders.
