The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a Project Grant of $164,696 to the University of Illinois at Chicago on September 30, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). This award funds research investigating how glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) signaling modulates olfactory processing and feeding behavior. The research encompasses two primary objectives: characterizing the anatomical and functional connectivity between GLP-1-producing neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract and the piriform cortex using patch clamp electrophysiology (Aim 1), and employing in vivo calcium imaging to determine how GLP-1 receptor activation modulates food-related odor-driven behavior and olfactory representations in the olfactory bulb and piriform cortex output neurons (Aim 2). The fellowship award provides advanced technical training in systems neuroscience, including optical and electrophysiological recording, chemogenetic and optogenetic circuit manipulation, and behavioral analysis. Additional training encompasses computational approaches to sensory coding, professional development activities, grant writing, and structured mentorship. The research and training will be conducted under the direction of Dr. Joseph Zak at the University of Illinois Chicago, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. This award supports the fellow's transition to an independent academic research career focused on understanding how internal physiological states modulate sensory processing and behavior.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
