This overview highlights how transgenic mice, and related genetic manipulations, can contribute in important ways to the goal of developing novel treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders. A brief background of the field of drug discovery is covered and then new animal models of CNS disorders are discussed along with the topics of target validation, identification of novel targets, and functional genomics.
