Barnard College received a $256,207 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031. The project focuses on discovering neural circuits and pathways in the fruit fly (Drosophila) brain that enable flexible, context-dependent decision-making by analyzing the Drosophila connectome—a complete reconstruction of brain neural connections—using network science methodologies traditionally applied to social network analysis. The research will identify groups of neurons that interact with brain regions of known function to elucidate how sensory information, memory, and internal states integrate to produce adaptive behaviors such as mate selection and feeding decisions. In addition to advancing neuroscience understanding of decision-making circuits, the project includes an education and workforce development component designed to broaden participation in computational neuroscience research. This includes innovative workshops and courses for middle school, high school, and college students that teach fundamental coding and network analysis skills while engaging learners directly with connectome data. The initiative aims to strengthen the U.S. domestic scientific and engineering workforce while enhancing national competitiveness in computational neuroscience research.Summary of Federal Grant Award
