The key objectives of this 3-year project, starting August 2024, are to establish scalable tools that combine spatial transcriptomics and connectomics methods to...
This $21.4 million cooperative agreement from the National Institute of Mental Health will fund research to identify gene regulatory elements that can target and manipulate specific neuronal cell types and brain circuits across species, including in human organoids. Awarded on September 1, 2022 to the Broad Institute, Inc. with completion by August 31, 2025, the funding supports the Mental Health Research Grants program. The Broad Institute and collaborators at Harvard University will profile...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $1,385,000 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to the Allen Institute, a non-profit research organization, to develop novel techniques for measuring the input-output operations of individual neurons in the mouse cortex. The project aims to overcome challenges in understanding how neurons in the mammalian brain transform their synaptic inputs into outputs, which is critical for designing effective brain-machine...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to enable systematic mapping of presynaptic and postsynaptic neural connectivity in the primate brain. The $803,786 award will support the development of innovative technologies to: 1) deliver barcoded RNAs to presynaptic and postsynaptic sites using adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) for high-throughput single-cell projection mapping, and 2)...
The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Oregon Health & Science University a $4,214,208 project grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) for the period of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The grant funds development of a new technique called SLIDE-SBARRO to generate quantitative models of synaptic networks in mouse striatum through spatially-resolved single-cell RNA sequencing of hundreds of thousands of cells. The aims are to create an...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $4,101,949 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to develop innovative neuroscience tools for precisely manipulating synaptic connections between genetically- or anatomically-defined neuronal populations.
