This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $203,278 to Brandeis University from November 2024 to January 2026 to conduct research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying daily life activity participation in older adults and its relationship to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The project will use a multilevel, multimodal framework including behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic approaches to understand...
This $1,230,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) will support the development and deployment of closed-loop digital interventions through a remote clinical trials platform. The overarching goal is to leverage technology to facilitate memory and cognitive function and prevent or delay age-related cognitive decline, particularly in older adults at risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The...
This $834,094 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to advance research on post-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia (PSCID). The funding will support a multi-year effort leveraging a national stroke registry and Medicare data to determine the incidence and prevalence of PSCID, identify associated risk factors, and explore potential pharmacological prevention strategies. Key aspects of the research include a patient-centered approach,...
This federal Project Grant award of $307,000.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to conduct a single, highly powered study to identify memory processes that are most sensitive to the asymptomatic, preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. The study combines a continuous report item-location associative memory task with advanced behavioral and neural modeling to estimate subtle changes in memory precision that may differentiate healthy...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) for $385,612 aims to integrate experimental and computational models to study prefrontal microcircuit changes during healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease progression. The research team at the University of Wyoming will use in vivo calcium imaging, computational simulation modeling, and neural decoding to directly visualize and predict microcircuit changes in the prefrontal cortex. A sub-award of an...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $466,125 to New York University (NYU) to develop a biologically relevant multi-scale model of brain aging using advanced diffusion MRI (dMRI) techniques. The project aims to generate brain charts of quantitative dMRI and mesoscopic MRI (mesoMRI) markers across the lifespan, creating a brain microstructure age framework. This framework will then be used to evaluate the effects of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $640,000 to Northeastern University to develop and apply new intravital microscopy techniques. The goal is to gain greater insight into the effects of gamma entrainment, a promising non-pharmacological neuromodulation technique for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other brain pathologies. The project will focus on characterizing how gamma entrainment influences cerebral energy metabolism and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $147,933 to the University of Florida to conduct a 5-year study investigating the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on working memory performance and functional connectivity in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compared to healthy controls. The study aims to characterize the acute (one-time) application of tDCS with standard fixed dosing on working memory...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $153,056 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying age-related declines in episodic memory representational specificity. The project aims to: 1) identify EEG correlates of variations in episodic memory specificity within and across young and older adults, 2) leverage computational modeling to identify cognitive processes...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $636,342 to Trustees of Boston University's Boston University Medical Campus to conduct multiscale modeling and empirical studies of normal and pathological brain aging. The research aims to elucidate the relationships between myelin dystrophy, synaptic loss, and neuronal hyperexcitability in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and how these changes contribute to age- and Alzheimer's...
