The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to study how neural circuits in fruit flies process and extract visual features for navigation. The 5-year project, starting on March 1, 2025, aims to identify the key visual cues that contribute to the flies' spatial and directional senses, combining anatomical, physiological, and computational approaches. The research...
This Project Grant award of $438,719 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program will support research to develop theoretical methods for analyzing whole-brain connectome data. The project aims to accelerate the development of scalable approaches that can handle the complexity and heterogeneity of real nervous systems, as well as facilitate the recruitment and training of interdisciplinary scientists to work with these...
This $1,155,315 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to examine the role of redox signaling in regulating the highly adaptable phototransduction signaling cascade in the Drosophila (fruit fly) visual system. The project aims to understand how blue light-induced redox changes in key phototransduction proteins can modulate the sensitivity and frequency response of this G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) pathway,...
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 $1,414,816 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the functional stratification of sensory encoding in the biological gyroscope of flying insects. Specifically, the grant funds work at Princeton University from January 2022 through July 2024 to reveal the principles of sensory encoding and sensorimotor processing that flies use to control their halteres and aerial maneuvers. The research will combine in vivo imaging and analysis approaches from computational...
This federal Project Grant award of $283,832, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research to investigate how the human brain creates the perception of visual stability during naturalistic attention tasks. The project aims to test whether the latest AI-powered vision-language models can generate plausible visual scenes in real-time using limited input...
This $251,573 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under CFDA 93.867 "Vision Research" will support the development of a new technology to re-engineer connectivity in the living brain of the fruit fly Drosophila. The overarching goal is to better understand how brain circuits function in the normal state and in disease, by allowing researchers to prevent the formation of specific synaptic connections between neurons. The project will utilize rational molecular...
