Compulsivity and impulsivity - Personal reflections: Why now and why here?

Abstract

This issue of CNS Spectrums contains a unique collection of manuscripts that examine compulsivity and impulsivity from a broad range of perspectives and helps to shape our evolving understanding of compulsivity and impulsivity as orthogonal symptom dimensions arising from parallel tightly regulated brain circuits giving rise to a spectrum of overlapping diagnostic categories.
