This $266,538 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research on the effects of connectivity architecture and distributed delays in brain network dynamics. The project aims to establish a quantitative framework that considers both spatial connectivity and temporal history of neural interactions, using networks of coupled equations with time delays. The research team, led by The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, will develop general network models, perform numerical simulations, and integrate the new mathematical approach with empirical brain data to investigate how timing impacts information propagation in neural circuits. The project will support a vertically integrated team including a postdoctoral fellow, a co-advised Ph.D. student, and five undergraduate students from underrepresented groups, with the goal of understanding physiological mechanisms behind neurological and psychiatric illnesses. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
