In this issue, Dr. Naoki Endo from Waseda University of Japan organized world-round scholars to talk about different sides of addiction. As a serious societal problem, addiction has a negative impact on the functioning of the entire society. Not only do drug addiction, internet addiction, video game addiction, and mobile phone addiction all have similar effects on the addict's personal life, but also on everything associated with the individual. It is time to confront the issue head-on and discover solutions to treat and prevent it by investigating the underlying neurobiological causes.
