This $1,000,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at West Virginia University to explore circadian regulation of olfactory modulation through serotonin signaling in fruit flies. Over a three-year period, the grantee will combine neuroanatomy, molecular biology and physiology experiments to determine how the brain's clock network influences two identified serotonin neurons that project to multiple processing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research on the mechanisms that regulate co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters in fruit flies. The $502,569 award to the University of Montana, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2028, will leverage cutting-edge techniques to examine how neurons that co-release glutamate and octopamine are impacted by sexual dimorphism and social isolation....
This $660,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Southern California (USC) on how RNA editing regulates synaptic plasticity and behavioral adaptations in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The project aims to investigate how RNA editing of glutamate-gated chloride and voltage-gated calcium channels impacts neural circuit function, synaptic plasticity, and organismal behaviors....
This three-year, $750,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into the genetic architecture of exploration behavior in Drosophila. The grantee, University of Mississippi, will use novel arena exploration assays and integrated genetic approaches to identify genes and neurons responsible for neophilia, or attraction to novel stimuli. Researchers will determine dopamine signaling requirements for exploratory behavior...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a three-year Drosophila neurobiology course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) from 2024-2027. The $182,400 award will fund an intensive, hands-on course that provides advanced training in genetic, molecular, cellular, behavioral, and computational approaches for studying the neural basis of fly behavior. The course is designed to introduce students to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship at Raleigh, NC to study the neural control of acoustic duetting in fruit flies. The research aims to investigate how the brain evolves to generate new mating behaviors, such as female flies singing back to males during courtship. The project will leverage the fruit fly as a model organism to understand the neural circuitry that coordinates...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $769,794 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Brown University. The grant supports collaborative research to investigate the mechanisms that regulate co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters in "bilingual" neurons and how this communication is dynamically modulated by sex and social environment in the fruit fly model system. The key objectives include: 1) Examining how glutamate+/octopamine+ neuron...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $444,362 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College, to be completed by April 30, 2027. This research project aims to investigate amino acid taste coding mechanisms and modulation in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The primary objectives are to: 1) identify physiological factors that modulate amino acid taste response, 2) uncover the repertoire of cells and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program grant, awarded to Villanova University, will provide $502,563 from Apr 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2028 to study the developmental and molecular mechanisms that reprogram neurons in Drosophila as they transition from larval to adult behaviors. The project will: 1) Determine how different subtypes of DDAG neurons in adult flies contribute to female reproductive behaviors and elucidate the larval counterparts of each DDAG...
This $238,681 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research into the genetic architecture of exploration behavior in Drosophila at the University of Houston-Downtown. The researchers will use novel arena exploration assays and integrated genetic approaches to identify genes and neurons responsible for neophilia, or attraction to novel stimuli. Specifically, they will determine dopamine signaling requirements for exploratory...
