This $600,407 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into principles of intelligent sensorimotor behavior under informational constraints from September 2021 through August 2024. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grant aims to advance understanding of major biological science problems and progress in the field. The University of Cincinnati leads research into how organisms integrate sensory information and respond through motor behavior when...
This five-year, $649,659 National Science Foundation Engineering Project Grant will support research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to advance fundamental understanding of the tissues that produce voluntary movement in humans and other biological creatures. Specifically, the grant will fund experiments studying how mechanical signaling coordinates assembly, maturation and repair at the neuromuscular interface in both physiological and pathological states. The principal investigator...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $750,000.00 will investigate how the central nervous system of vertebrates produces coordinated leg movements. Specifically, the project will use the turtle spinal cord as a model system to pharmacologically perturb inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitter receptors to understand how the spinal cord generates and selects appropriate motor outputs for swimming, scratching, and leg withdrawal...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $548,088 to Trustees of Boston University to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying tactile perception and sensory processing. The project aims to develop a fine-scale understanding of the local and long-range cortical circuits in the mouse whisker system that...
The federal Project Grant award titled "NEURAL CONTROL OF RHYTHMIC OROFACIAL MOVEMENTS" is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The $1,127,000 award to Duke University, with a performance period from September 2024 to July 2029, supports a transformative research program to map and dissect brainstem central pattern generators that coordinate orofacial rhythms such as licking, breathing,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $400,000 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University to conduct research integrating neurophysiology, computational models, and biomimetic robotics to understand audio-vocal feedback in bats. The project aims to uncover the neural mechanisms behind how bats dynamically modify their echolocation calls to navigate through cluttered...
This $250,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to investigate the role of neuromodulators in regulating the activity and plasticity of neuronal networks. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which neuromodulators constrain the parameter space of neuronal activity, both in response to perturbations and over long time scales. The project utilizes the...
This $364,848 Project Grant award, funded 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, supports research to investigate the computational logic of the cerebellar cortex and its role in enabling precise, goal-directed reaching movements. The principal investigator will use two-photon calcium imaging in mice to measure activity in the early cerebellar cortex...
This three-year, $456,522 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Dickinson College investigating locomotor performance trade-offs in frogs and toads. Funded through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research aims to understand how specialized hopping and jumping movements constrain motor control strategies and muscle-tendon properties in response to changes in substrate stiffness. The grantee will quantify kinematic variation between long-distance hopping...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $535,465 to Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University) for a collaborative research project titled "Biodesign: A Deep Dive into Dynamic Damping in Extreme Underwater Maneuvering". The primary goal is to investigate how fish achieve rapid maneuvers that exceed the capabilities of advanced robotic systems, focusing on the hypothesis that fish can dynamically modulate...
