- This $1,309,206 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to investigate spatial recognition memory processes in patients with epilepsy. The goal is to develop improved cognitive assessments and treatments for the memory deficits commonly experienced by epilepsy patients, which are not well captured by current neuropsychological...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $426,250 Project Grant under CFDA 93.853, Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders, to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. This 2-year grant will fund research using cutting-edge voltage imaging to examine how interactions between specific neuronal circuit elements in the hippocampus relate to the development of temporal lobe...
- This $579,294 Project Grant was 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. The grant supports research to understand the cell type-specific epigenetic mechanisms, particularly involving microRNAs, that regulate brain function and contribute to neurological disorders like epilepsy. The research aims to reveal the specific cell types and target mRNAs...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $222,160 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The grant will support Dr. Alena Stasenko's research to develop risk and resilience models of cognitive aging in epilepsy and novel, tech-based interventions to improve brain health. The project aims to leverage digital assessment to determine the...
- This Project Grant award for $158,324.00, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853), supports research to investigate the mechanisms underlying seizures during acute viral infection and the development of chronic epilepsy in a mouse model of viral-induced temporal lobe epilepsy. The key products and services to be delivered include: quantifying...
- This Project Grant award of $743,776 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS, CFDA 93.853) supports research to determine whether and when ablating mutant cells that cause epilepsy can reverse the disease in mouse models of mTOR pathway disorders. The research aims to advance the development of AAV-mediated gene therapy approaches to treat intractable epilepsy caused by mTOR pathway mutations. This work builds upon almost two decades of the recipient...
- This federal Project Grant award, ID R01NS137650, was provided 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. The $580,070 award, effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2029, will support research at Stanford University to study the role of the human thalamus in the propagation of temporal lobe seizures and memory formation. The key products and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) provides $608,899.00 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to study the role of astrocytic volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) in regulating brain tissue excitability, seizure generation, and epilepsy development. The research aims to determine how astrocytic VRAC...
This federal Project Grant award of $238,356 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to study the role of the amygdala-nucleus reticularis thalami (NRT) pathway in modulating thalamocortical circuits and cortical activity, and its potential impact on seizures and neuropsychiatric comorbidities in people with epilepsy. The research, led by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will use advanced optogenetic techniques to selectively activate the amygdala-NRT pathway in brain slices and awake behaving mice, while recording neuronal activity in the thalamus and cortex. The project also aims to examine whether activation of the amygdala-NRT pathway can disrupt seizures and improve behavioral deficits in a rodent model of genetic generalized epilepsy. The award has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2030.
