The federal Project Grant award K23MH137459, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports a multilevel characterization of sensory cortical disinhibition in post-traumatic intrusions. The $179,002 award, with a period of performance from July 10, 2024 to June 30, 2029, aims to link lower levels of inhibitory neural activity and imbalance in excitatory/inhibitory neurotransmitter systems to perturbations in intrinsic functional organization of resting-state neural networks. The research will utilize magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electroencephalography, and functional MRI to examine the role of sensory cortical disinhibition in the vivid, sensory-perceptual properties of trauma-related intrusive memories, paving the way for future neuromodulation interventions. The grant recipient, The McLean Hospital Corporation, will collaborate with expert mentors and investigators to develop an independent research career integrating multimodal neuroimaging, ambulatory assessments, and advanced neuromodulation techniques to advance mechanism-based treatments for post-traumatic mental health sequelae.
