- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director awarded a $1,255,340 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) on September 13, 2024. The grant will fund research to understand how the brain processes somatosensory (touch) feedback to enable skilled movement control. The key products or services to be delivered under this grant include simultaneous high-density neural recordings from the motor...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $440,610 project grant to Yale University under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program. The grant is funding research that seeks to understand the neural signals necessary for error-based motor learning in both upper-limb movements and speech adaptation. Specifically, the researchers will use behavioral studies, electromyography, and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $140,690 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 award supports research to investigate the relationship between gamma oscillations in the motor network and dyskinesia (excessive movement) in Parkinson's disease patients. The goals are to use chronically implanted neurostimulators and wearable sensors...
- This federal Project Grant award of $377,602 was made on September 1, 2025 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 award supports research by the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, Office of Sponsored Programs to investigate the circuit mechanisms of sensorimotor predictive processing for active touch. The project aims to enhance understanding of...
- 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) program, provides $345,702 to Vanderbilt University to study the cellular and circuit bases of motor control for active sensation. The goal is to reveal mechanisms of motor control for sensation at the cellular and circuit levels, using fruit flies as a model system. Key objectives include...
- This federal Project Grant award of $357,047 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 at the University of California, Riverside to investigate how neural dynamics transition across different spatiotemporal scales, internal states, and external contexts. The goal is to develop causal discovery methods that can more accurately and robustly...
- This Project Grant award, funded 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, supports research to investigate how the brain learns rapid, sequential motor skills. The $107,984 award to Duke University will fund experiments to test whether a 3-factor learning rule operates at cortico-basal ganglia synapses to drive the learning of sequential movements, such as...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $114,507 project grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of California, Berkeley. The award, with a period of performance from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, will support research to understand the role of the motor cortex in controlling complex, natural motor behaviors like bat flight. The project aims to use cutting-edge wireless neural recording and causal manipulation techniques in freely flying bats to characterize motor cortex representations and their importance for precise flight control. This research is expected to advance the scientific understanding of motor control mechanisms in the mammalian brain and potentially inform the development of new treatments for movement disorders.
