Project Grant 2219800
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to understand how the brain supports decision-making processes. The three-year grant, awarded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to identify neural features that provide information about the decision-making process, build decoders to predict decisions, and develop a closed-loop...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $800,000 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support research on "Neuronal Substrates Underlying the Construction of Value in Humans". This 3-year grant, which commenced on October 1, 2023, aims to investigate how the human brain forms personal preferences and makes value-based decisions. The research will use intracranial recordings in epilepsy patients to...
- This $281,053 federal Project Grant award was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant, awarded to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, supports a research project that investigates the evolutionary and developmental roots of the modern human body form. The study employs advanced virtual imaging and morphometric methods to examine the fossil remains of juvenile human ancestors, with the goal of better understanding...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $500,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California, San Francisco for a project grant titled "Understanding Mechanisms of Semantic Memory through Intracranial Recording and Stimulation." The three-year project, running from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025, will utilize intracranial electroencephalography recordings from awake epilepsy patients to decipher how neural...
- This federal Project Grant award of $511,396 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant supports research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California to understand the diversity of presynaptic mechanisms that regulate the release of neurotransmitters like glutamate and dopamine in the brain. The research aims to investigate how...
- The federal Project Grant award of $1,099,402 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research to examine the neural mechanisms underlying the formation and utilization of abstract representations. The award will fund a multi-institutional research team led by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to investigate how the brain learns and applies abstract knowledge to...
- The University of California Irvine received a $349,551 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate to support exploratory and confirmatory neurocognitive modeling with latent variables from June 2021 through May 2024. The grant funds research under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to contribute to scientific strength and welfare through promotion of basic research and...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372), will support the development of a novel neural recording approach to investigate how neurons perform computations on their inputs. The $336,935 award will enable the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct dual in vivo whole-cell and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $223,176 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant supports research by Stanford University to study how the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) of the brain flexibly updates internal spatial representations to guide behavior, particularly in the context of cognitive impairments like those seen in temporal...
- This Project Grant award from the Department of Defense's Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) provides $1,746,347 to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to conduct research on "INTERROGATING TUMOR-IMMUNE-NEURON CROSS TALK AT SINGLE-CELL RESOLUTION IN A PANEL OF NOVEL SOMATIC TRANSGENIC NF1 TUMOR MODELS". The primary objective is to develop and validate new mouse models of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) low- and high-grade gliomas, and to determine the role of...
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was awarded a three-year, $934,850 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will support research using single-neuron recordings in the human brain to test theories of error monitoring and gain mechanistic insights into how the medial prefrontal cortex enables performance monitoring. Key products include testing predictions from three prominent error monitoring theories through cognitive tasks while recording medial prefrontal cortex neurons and EEG in epilepsy patients. Insights will inform an accurate computational model of human medial prefrontal cortex error monitoring. Outreach activities are also planned to provide educational opportunities in neuroscience to underrepresented middle and high school students.
