  We give a brief overview of recent theoretical and experimental results on
the chiral magnetic effect and spin polarization effect in heavy-ion
collisions. We present updated experimental results for the chiral magnetic
effect and related phenomena. The time evolution of the magnetic fields in
different models is discussed. The newly developed quantum kinetic theory for
massive fermions is reviewed. We present theoretical and experimental results
for the polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons and the $\rho_{00}$ value of vector
mesons.
