This federal Project Grant award, valued at $216,689.00 and awarded 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, supports research aimed at measuring the effective connectivity between excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the brain to reveal the underlying connectivity motifs and computations that contribute to decision-making. The research, to be conducted by...
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 $1,417,500 Project Grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) funds the development of "Electrified Cryo-EM", a novel tool that can kinetically trap biological systems in their metastable, non-equilibrium states. The research aims to unravel the structural changes in neurons during an action potential across multiple length scales, from voltage-gated channel proteins to the synaptic junction. Specifically,...
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $1,671,116 Cooperative Agreement grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) program to The Washington University in St. Louis. The 3-year grant, running from September 2023 to August 2026, aims to develop a novel two-component optogenetic system for reversibly controlling the activity of user-defined synaptic connections between specific cell types in the brain. The project will involve engineering light-sensitive G...
The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded $3.6 million under the 21st Century Cures Act Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies program (CFDA 93.372) to Stanford University. The project grant will support development of a noninvasive, dynamically programmable in vivo light source for rapid brain-wide optogenetic screening. Specifically, the awardee aims to develop mechanoluminescent nanoparticles with distinct emission...
