This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants will fund a $629,510 research project titled "Functional Maturation of Amygdala Circuitry During Adolescence" at the Children's Research Institute. The goal is to understand the role of late-maturing neurons in the amygdala, a brain region key to social-emotional development, during the adolescent transition to adulthood. The project will examine amygdala...
This federal Project Grant award of $582,487, awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to investigate the circuit and behavioral roles of parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic neurons in the basal forebrain to support sustained attention. The objective is to determine how this understudied basal forebrain neuron population contributes to cognitive functions like sustained attention, distinct from the known roles of...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,978,475 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Trustees of Princeton University to study the neural basis of visual attention in the primate brain. The grant, with an award date of August 6, 2024 and ultimate completion date of April 30, 2029, will investigate the temporal dynamics and neural mechanisms underlying visual attention, including how low-frequency rhythms coordinate sensory and motor processes....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA program 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) supports research to investigate the impact of species-specific synaptic maturation timing on cortical circuit and behavioral development. The $150,251 award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Health Sciences Division, will utilize CRISPR/Cas9 techniques and electrophysiology to characterize the morphological and functional...
The federal Project Grant award R21MH137409, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to investigate how inhibitory GABAergic synapses regulate excitatory glutamatergic synapses throughout brain development. The $234,000 award, with a period of performance from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026, will be performed by the University of Colorado-Denver. The research aims to elucidate the cellular and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $443,671 to The Lieber Institute for Brain Development (LIBD) to investigate the molecular, cellular and circuit-level mechanisms underlying sustained attention deficits observed in neuropsychiatric disorders. The research leverages genetic and circuit-specific tools to dissect the role of the locus coeruleus-anterior cingulate cortex circuit and the...
This $2,153,762 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to validate electrophysiological biomarkers associated with performance in a preclinical assay of sustained attention. The primary objectives are to optimize a rodent continuous performance test (rCPT) to study the impact of target percentage on vigilance decrement, evaluate the optimized rCPT using the stimulant amphetamine,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under CFDA program 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants, will support research into the neurocircuitry underlying motivated reward-seeking behavior as a coping mechanism for stress. The $606,029 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025, will be administered by the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The key objectives are to investigate how sub-populations of neurons in the medial...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $127,305 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to investigate the neural mechanisms and neuromodulation of affective states. The research aims to determine how a history of reward prediction errors influences affective state fluctuations through circuits in the subgenual cingulate cortex. The project will combine neurophysiology,...
This $392,500 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of California, Irvine. The grant supports a 5-year research project from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029 to study the developmental origins of mental illness, with a focus on understanding how early life adversity impacts the structure and function of the hypothalamus and its contribution to maladaptive...
