Abstract
This Special Section of the International journal of Neuropsychopharmacology highlights current progress in paediatric neuropsychopharmacology. Combining critical reviews and, in some cases, new data, specific topics include: biological findings in major depression, sleep dysregulation in depressed youth, cardiovascular and ventilatory dysregulation in panic disorder, paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with strep (PANDAS), age of onset as a subtype marker in tic and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), functional and pharmaconeuroanatomy of OCD and the behavioural pharmacokinetics of methylphenidate. In this introductory section, these articles are placed in the context of the state-of-the field and, more specifically, within the framework of recent NIMH initiatives in paediatric neuropsychopharmacology.
