This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), provides $1,340,637 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the development of social behaviors in infants. The key objectives are to: 1) genetically identify sensory neurons that attach positive valence to olfactory cues during olfactory imprinting, 2) use spatial...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program Project Grant awarded to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) provides $300,000 over a 5-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The grant will fund research to explore the evolutionary development of neural cell types and visual circuits across insect species, including mosquitoes, house flies, and butterflies. The project aims to utilize the insect visual system as a model to understand...
This $420,334 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support the development of new microcoaxial electro-optical probes for minimally invasive interfacing with spinal neural circuits. The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) will lead this 3-year collaborative research project to fabricate high-aspect ratio, dual-modality, and mechanically flexible probes that can precisely target specific spinal neural circuits. The...
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) has been awarded a $434,500 Project Grant by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. This 2-year grant will support research to determine the signaling pathways activated by prion protein in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons. The research aims to establish the sequence of intracellular...
This federal Project Grant award for $121,933, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants, supports research to investigate the compartment-specific functional organization of synaptic inputs along the dendrites of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in behaving animals, as well as the mechanisms that shape this organization during learning. The award to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) will fund three specific aims:...
This $3.63 million Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), will fund research at Duke University from August 2022 through July 2025 to develop predictive dynamic models of the functional connectivity underlying visually guided behavior in zebrafish.
