Therapeutic Innovations in Neuroscience
The theme of this issue of Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (CPT) encompasses neuroscience in the broad sense to include neurology and psychiatry, nonclinical and clinical aspects, novel clinical trial methodologies, and modeling and simulation approaches applicable to central nervous system (CNS) drug development and therapy. While naturally the last two years have been dominated by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is important not to forget that drug development for other indications has not been stopped, albeit many trials were affected in terms of delays in recruitment and collection of clinical data.

Editorial
A roadmap of recovery for the COVID generation
The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health
… The pandemic has had wide-ranging and long-lasting effects on young people, but children’s developmental plasticity and resilience give us room for optimism. As the world moves into the next phase of pandemic recovery and living with COVID-19, we must grasp this opportunity to support every child to catch up and thrive. The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health will be publishing a Commission to build a roadmap of recovery for this COVID generation. We call for collaborators and research from all aspects of child and adolescent health—particularly from our colleagues in development, social science, and adolescent health—to join us.
