The project aims to investigate how the brain integrates visual, vestibular, and kinesthetic...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded The Johns Hopkins University $232,938 on February 17, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to generate critical knowledge on neuronal membrane proteasome-derived peptide signaling in the peripheral nervous system. The research extends prior work on NMP-peptides and their role in peripheral neuron crosstalk and regulation. The award funds proteomics,...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded Drexel University $547,255 on September 1, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853). The award funds investigation of the functional organization of descending neuron networks that control collision-avoidance behavior. Using electron microscopy connectomes of the central nervous system at synaptic...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded a cooperative agreement to The Johns Hopkins University for $749,720 on September 1, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853). The funding supports development and preclinical testing of a sustained-delivery insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) therapeutic for...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The Medical University of South Carolina $100,228 on December 16, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853). The award funds research on complement-mediated mechanisms of injury and repair in germinal matrix hemorrhage, a leading neurological injury of prematurity....
- The National Eye Institute, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The Johns Hopkins University $110,228 on February 12, 2027, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to conduct research on the mediation of oculomotor learning by the cerebellar cortex. The funded research investigates how molecular layer interneurons and Purkinje cells within the cerebellar cortex's oculomotor vermis adapt rapid eye movements (saccades) in response to...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Johns Hopkins University $119,586 in project grant funding on July 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate how landmark information is integrated into head direction ring attractor networks in retrosplenial cortex. The research addresses the computational process by which visual landmarks are incorporated into internal head direction representations. The project will determine how head direction cells in retrosplenial...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded Thomas Jefferson University (operating as Sidney Kimmel Medical College) $509,949 on September 1, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853). The award funds research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of synaptic growth restriction in central olfactory circuits. The...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $126,900 on March 7, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853). The award funds research to exploit RNA biogenesis, specifically alternative splicing programs, to accelerate maturation of human neurons in vitro and to develop models of age-related tauopathies. The research addresses a fundamental...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded The Johns Hopkins University $119,691 on September 1, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to support research understanding how eye movements contribute to spatial navigation in rodents and directional encoding in disease states. The research combines naturalistic behavioral paradigms with high-density Neuropixels 3.0 recordings to identify where ascending head-direction pathway circuits converge eye movement signals with vestibular inputs and to explore the role of saccades in heading updates. The funded K99 mentored phase will establish a circuit-level framework for how gaze contributes to directional coding in rodents. The independent R00 phase extends this framework to a transgenic Alzheimer's disease model, investigating the underlying circuit mechanisms of spatial disorientation and gaze instability, early symptoms in AD patients whose neural bases remain unknown. The award funds work performed in Baltimore, Maryland, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028. This is a Project Grant assistance type supporting basic research that explores fundamental structure and function of the brain and nervous system to reduce the burden of neurological disease.
