This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under CFDA Program 93.867 "Vision Research" is supporting research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying orientation-dependent surround suppression in the visual cortex. The $211,988 award to the University of California, Berkeley aims to elucidate how feedback connections from higher visual areas onto inhibitory interneurons in the primary visual cortex generate this orientation-dependent cortical computation...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the CFDA 93.867 Vision Research program, will support research to investigate how humans form allocentric, or world-centered, spatial maps of 3D environments from visual information, without physically visiting the locations. The $218,068 award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, effective December 1, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will fund two research aims. The first aim will use functional MRI and...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley for $611,546 starting on September 30, 2024. The grant supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying sustained visual perception in humans. The project aims to investigate: 1) how attention and awareness affect persistent neural representations of visual stimuli, 2) the structure and information content of brain...
This $242,310 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying visual categorization and feature integration in non-human primates. The research will involve conducting large-scale simultaneous electrophysiological recordings in the lateral intraparietal region (LIP) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) to elucidate the computations and circuit mechanisms necessary...
The University of California, Davis received a $605,903 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to conduct research on the role of the medial temporal lobe in visual perception and working memory. The five-year project, running from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029, aims to determine how the medial temporal lobe supports visual cognition and how various brain processes and diseases impact visual perception, particularly...
This federal Project Grant award of $233,250 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to understand how neural circuits involved in visual scene segmentation contribute to predicting future visual input. The award will fund a collaborative project between Dr. Franken, an electrophysiologist studying border ownership circuits in the primate brain, and Dr. Wessel, a neurophysicist with expertise in visual processing in artificial...
This federal Project Grant award of $589,212 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under CFDA program 93.867 (Vision Research) supports research at the University of California, Santa Cruz to determine the developmental mechanisms that integrate visual and auditory spatial maps in the mouse superior colliculus and their impact on multisensory integration and natural spatial orienting behaviors. The key research objectives include: 1) Defining the developmental window and critical period in which...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $475,000 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. The goal of this 4-year project is to characterize the connectivity and functional role of specific neural circuits in the mammalian visual system that transmit visual information from the retina to the primary visual cortex. The research will use innovative techniques, including anterograde circuit tracing,...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $688,882 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of Chicago to support a multi-year research project on "Multiregional Neuronal Computations Underlying Rapid and Flexible Visual Categorical Decisions". The project aims to use large-scale neuronal population recording techniques and computational modeling to investigate the brain mechanisms that underlie visual learning, recognition, and...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,198,422 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to investigate the role of oculomotor proprioception in establishing long-term visuospatial memory. The key objectives are to: 1) Study the impact of inactivating area 3A of the somatosensory cortex on gain fields, long-term spatial memory, and environmental memory in the lateral intraparietal area (LIP); 2) Categorize cell types in the...
