This Project Grant award, titled "DISSECTING THE NEURAL CIRCUIT MECHANISMS THAT GENERATE DOPAMINE NEURON ACTIVITY", is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The $656,073 award, effective July 15, 2024, supports research by Harvard University's President and Fellows to uncover how neural circuits generate dopamine neuron activity and reward prediction error signals. The project aims to examine the roles of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $120,015 to support research on the algorithmic and neural circuit basis of dopamine-driven learning in the striatum. The research aims to identify the mechanisms by which dopamine release drives reward-based learning, with a focus on using artificial conditioning tasks and optical stimulation of dopamine axons to isolate the effects of...
This $373,300 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), will support research to investigate the role of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in learning and responding to reward-predictive cues. The research aims to enhance understanding of the neural activity dynamics in NAc that contribute to selective conditioned responses to reward-paired cues versus neutral cues. Using an auditory Pavlovian...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $154,091 to Georgetown University to conduct research on the role of chloride homeostasis and GABA neuron plasticity in the ventral tegmental area during reward learning. The research aims to characterize how changes in the expression of the KCC2 anion transporter impact inhibitory circuits and neural network activity in the lateral VTA,...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $136,929.00 and issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports research on the circuit mechanisms underlying inflexible habitual behaviors following chronic cocaine use. The research objectives include: 1) Determining how a history of cocaine self-administration alters dopamine release and neural activity patterns to promote habitual behavior; 2) Investigating how cocaine...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), is providing $121,364 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct critical investigation into the neural circuitry that supports goal-directed and habit learning. The research will use advanced techniques such as optogenetic manipulation and in vivo fiber photometry to study the role of dopaminergic projections from the ventral...
This $248,998 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund research into the neural circuit mechanisms underlying motivation. The principal investigator, a newly appointed Assistant Professor at Dartmouth College, will use in vivo calcium imaging and optogenetic stimulation to study the role of GABA/glutamate co-releasing neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and their projections to the...
This federal Project Grant award of $417,861.00 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) will support research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying individual differences in reward-based learning strategies and their relationship to addiction-like behaviors. The research will focus on the role of dopamine signaling in the basolateral amygdala in mediating the emergence and expression of Pavlovian reward...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) provides $232,128.00 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on the role of dopaminergic and glutamatergic mechanisms within the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in influencing dynamic drug-seeking behaviors. The research aims to characterize how BLA dopamine signaling and D1-neuron activity track the emergence of drug-seeking...
The federal Project Grant award R01DA058777 for $3,299,945.00 was granted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The grant funding supports research to investigate the roles of distinct dopamine signaling modes in striatal circuit modulation and behavior. The long-term goal is to determine the mechanisms by which dopamine controls movement, learning, motivation, and reward, and how changes in dopamine signaling are...
