This $1,000,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at West Virginia University to explore circadian regulation of olfactory modulation through serotonin signaling in fruit flies. Over a three-year period, the grantee will combine neuroanatomy, molecular biology and physiology experiments to determine how the brain's clock network influences two identified serotonin neurons that project to multiple processing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research on the mechanisms that regulate co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters in fruit flies. The $502,569 award to the University of Montana, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2028, will leverage cutting-edge techniques to examine how neurons that co-release glutamate and octopamine are impacted by sexual dimorphism and social isolation....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $769,794 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Brown University. The grant supports collaborative research to investigate the mechanisms that regulate co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters in "bilingual" neurons and how this communication is dynamically modulated by sex and social environment in the fruit fly model system. The key objectives include: 1) Examining how glutamate+/octopamine+ neuron...
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 $495,341 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Smith College to investigate the G protein-coupled receptor GPR37 and its role in regulating the maturation of new neurons in the adult hippocampus. The project aims to build on preliminary findings that suggest GPR37 may potentiate Wnt signaling to positively influence the integration of newborn neurons into established brain circuits. Key aspects of...
This $660,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Southern California (USC) on how RNA editing regulates synaptic plasticity and behavioral adaptations in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The project aims to investigate how RNA editing of glutamate-gated chloride and voltage-gated calcium channels impacts neural circuit function, synaptic plasticity, and organismal behaviors....
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 $700,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the Van Andel Research Institute (VAI) to investigate the mechanisms of developmental plasticity and the impact of maternal metabolic state on offspring development using fruit flies as a model organism. The key objectives are to determine how maternal metabolic state alters metabolic, transcriptional, and epigenomic processes in embryos, and link...
This Project Grant award of $1,140,828 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, effective August 1, 2024. The purpose of the award is to generate novel network analysis tools to elucidate the functional logic of 3D vision circuits in the Drosophila (fruit fly) brain. The project aims to shed light on the relationship between microsaccades (small-scale eye movements) and 3D...
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...
