This $337,422 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a novel "neuron-to-neuron interface" that can transmit signals between individual neurons in the brains of two zebrafish larvae. The researchers at the University of Illinois seek to create a system that allows synchronized behavioral outputs in both a "sender" and "receiver" fish by transmitting neural signals optically between their...
This $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of Illinois at Chicago to address challenges in damaged neuron circuits by reprogramming the brain. The project aims to develop a new method to manipulate neural circuit development by transferring and replicating neural signals from one brain to another using zebrafish larvae as a model system. The long-term goal is to reconstruct maladaptive...
