This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by Cleveland State University to develop bioprinted tissue scaffolds with Schwann cell density gradients and electrical conductivity for peripheral nerve regeneration. The key objectives are to: 1) determine how Schwann cell density gradients impact axonal regrowth, 2) explore how scaffold electrical conductivity affects neural axon growth, and 3) evaluate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) project grant award of $526,211 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania aims to develop an innovative multimodal bioelectronic interface for simultaneous electrophysiology, neurochemistry, and optical mapping of neuronal circuits in vivo and at multiple scales. The project will design, fabricate, and characterize this multimodal neural interface based on nanoscale soft conductors and custom fabrication...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research at the University of Pittsburgh to develop new analytical tools for understanding information flow and selective attention in large-scale brain networks. The 5-year project aims to integrate existing datasets of neural activity and anatomical connectivity to provide a mechanistic understanding of communications between...
This Project Grant award is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The award provides $180,504 to the University of Illinois to develop a unified computational framework for accurately reconstructing densely labeled neural circuits in the brain. The key products and services to be delivered through this 4-year award (October 1, 2024 to October 31, 2028) include: 1) generating super-resolution 3D images of whole Drosophila brains with labeled...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $449,795 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Pittsburgh. The 5-year award, effective May 1, 2024, aims to develop a bio-inspired sensing, computing, and learning framework for next-generation computer vision (CV) systems. The proposed research will focus on three key areas: 1) creating retina-inspired vision sensors that outperform existing cameras, 2) modeling and implementing scalable corticomorphic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $360,000 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) aims to uncover the role of neuron-neuron communication in the post-mitotic maturation of neurons during postnatal development. Using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, the research will leverage advanced genetics, behavioral assays, microscopy, and genomics tools to examine the molecular and functional maturation of neurons. This...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $124,588 to the University of Notre Dame to investigate how physical forces, specifically axonal tension or the pulling forces exerted by nerve fibers, shape the complex folded structure of the human brain. The primary hypothesis is that axonal tension helps determine the placement of cortical folds and ensures efficient axonal connections. The research aims to develop advanced...
This $2,000,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the University of California, Irvine's research to develop 3D biological neural networks (3DNNs) for intelligent biomedical motor control systems. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of using cultured 3DNNs to interpret brain signals, execute motor functions, and self-correct for errors, with the long-term vision of restoring lost neurological functions for...
