Project Grant R00EY030528
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) in the amount of $121,665 provides funding to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to conduct research on the effects of regional neural architecture on signal processing in the macaque retina. The project aims to investigate how cellular connection mechanisms, such as convergence and divergence, influence the sensitivity of the rod and foveal midget pathways across different regions of the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $123,794 from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to reveal the fundamental mechanisms of visual selective attention. The principal investigator at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will leverage an invertebrate model system to identify the neural components and computations underlying object detection and saccadic control pathways. These studies aim to further the understanding of simple...
- This $192,900 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine to investigate how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between brain areas. The project will use high-density laminar probes to record population activity from multiple visual areas in mice under different locomotive contexts. The researchers will evaluate changes in inter-areal visual signal communication using...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides funding of $147,486 to the University of Washington to conduct research on the role of parvalbumin-expressing neurons in primate cortical processing. The project aims to determine if these inhibitory neurons mediate gain control, a key neural computation, in the primate brain. Specifically, the research will use advanced viral genetic tools to optogenetically activate and inactivate...
- This $464,903 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research at the University of Chicago to investigate how neuronal connections form in the retinogeniculate pathway during childhood development. The researchers will focus on understanding how neurons in the visual system make the correct connections, and how disruptions like closing one eye can impact this process. The goal is to gain insights into how...
- This $688,882 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) supports a multidisciplinary research project on the neuronal computations underlying rapid and flexible visual categorical decision-making in humans. The project employs a combination of large-scale neuronal population recording techniques and theoretical modeling to investigate the coordinated activity within and between brain regions like the posterior parietal...
- This Project Grant award of $148,040, 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, supports research to investigate how the cerebellar circuit's synaptic properties may underlie precisely timed behavioral outputs. The research project, led by the University of Colorado-Denver, will leverage optical tools to measure mossy fiber and granule cell...
- This federal Project Grant award of $183,751 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 will support research to develop a miniaturized ultra-widefield micro-camera array microscope (MCAM) capable of imaging a large area of the cerebellar cortex with cellular resolution in freely behaving mice. The goal is to enable recordings of cerebellar neuronal...
- This federal Project Grant award for $434,296 was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research grant program (CFDA 93.867) with the goal of studying the neural and computational mechanisms underlying natural viewing behavior in primates, including humans and macaques. The research aims to determine how primates prioritize and guide their visual exploration, and how this is supported by activity in the visual cortex and thalamus. The award recipient, President and...
- The federal Project Grant award titled "NEURAL CIRCUITS UNDERLYING VISUAL REPRESENTATION IN THE MEDIAL ENTORHONAL CORTEX" was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867). The award totaling $577,544 was granted to Yale University, with a project period from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030. The purpose of this award is to conduct a comprehensive research study to (1) determine the capacity for visual stimulus...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Eye Institute under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to identify the principles of operation that underpin neural learning circuits, with a focus on understanding the circuit-level rules that govern motor learning in the cerebellum. The total funding amount is $249,000.00, with a project period from September 15, 2025 to July 31, 2028. The award was granted to the University of Wisconsin System, specifically the University of Wisconsin-Madison, to conduct this research. The goal is to leverage the highly conserved architecture of the cerebellar circuit to shed light on the general principles of how neural circuits facilitate learning and memory formation.
