Introduction

Home cage monitoring (HCM) technologies have revolutionized neuropharmacological research by enabling continuous, non-invasive observation of rodents in their natural environments. Complementary advancements such as 24/7 continuous drug delivery systems (e.g., implantable pumps) and wireless neurostimulation methods—including optogenetics—offer precise methods for modulating neural activity and administering pharmacological agents without disrupting the animals’ home cage environment. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into these systems enhances data analysis by uncovering subtle behavioral patterns and neural correlates that traditional approaches might overlook. This article collection invites reviews and original research articles that explore the latest developments in HCM, continuous drug delivery, wireless neurostimulation, and AI applications in neuropharmacology. By showcasing these technologies—individually or in combination—we aim to explore their impact on data validity, reproducibility, and translational relevance. With an emphasis on animal welfare and adherence to the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) principles, this collection seeks to accelerate drug discovery and deepen our understanding of complex neural processes. We welcome contributions that drive the field forward through technological innovations, methodological advances, and novel insights into neuropsychiatric disorders.
