This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) provides $307,000 in funding to the University of Arizona to conduct research on the effects of early Alzheimer's pathogenesis on memory accuracy and precision. The study aims to identify memory processes that are most sensitive to the asymptomatic, preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease. The research involves a continuous report item-location associative memory task combined with...
This Project Grant award of $442,938 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to understand how aging impacts sleep, memory formation, and synaptic plasticity. The primary awardee, The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will conduct studies to characterize age-related changes in sleep patterns, synaptic remodeling during memory consolidation, and brain activity following behavioral training in the C. elegans...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $434,500 supports research to investigate the role of dopamine neurons in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) and their impact on memory interference in aging. The research seeks to determine how age-related decline in dopamine neuron function predisposes the LEC to prioritize familiarity, leading to increased memory interference in older adults. The study will use fiber...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,230,000 to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to develop and evaluate closed-loop digital interventions through a remote clinical trials platform. The overall goal is to leverage technology to facilitate memory and cognitive function in older adults, particularly those at risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The project will be executed through a...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) provides $212,095 to George Mason University to investigate changes in cholinergic modulation and neural network dynamics in the hippocampus of young and aged mice. The goal is to develop a biologically realistic, full-scale spiking neural network model of the hippocampal CA3 region to examine how temporal dynamics in cholinergic modulation contribute to age-related memory loss...
This $325,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of different memory systems in guiding decision-making for novel choices. The research team plans to leverage eye-tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), computational modeling, and patient populations to characterize how "rigid" and "flexible"...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $153,056 to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying age-related declines in episodic memory representational specificity. The project aims to: (1) identify EEG correlates of variations in episodic memory specificity within and across young and older adults, (2) leverage computational modeling to identify cognitive processes accounting for these variations, and (3) link the...
The National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) awarded a $148,568 Project Grant to Brandeis University to conduct research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying daily life activity participation in older adults and its linkages to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The proposed research will use a multilevel, multimodal framework to study the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms of age-related shifts in motivation to perform cognitively effortful activities, and directly...
This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $2,251,070 to the University of California Irvine through July 2025. The grant supports research to develop new statistical methodologies for analyzing Alzheimer's disease data from longitudinal cohort studies. Key deliverables include methods for assessing prediction precision for recurrent event survival data using time-dependent ROC and C-index...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $2,288,327 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) on August 15, 2024. The grant funding will support research to investigate the early determinants and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) using age-equivalent neurons derived from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patient samples. The research teams will utilize patient-derived induced neurons to study how polygenic risk factors and...
