Northeast Ohio Medical University (Neomed) received a $631,040 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2031. The award funds basic neuroscience research investigating the role of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) in the development and function of brainstem sound localization circuits in mice. The research aims to elucidate the anatomical distribution, physiological functions, and developmental consequences of mGluR5 dysfunction in auditory circuit formation and binaural hearing processing. The research activities supported by this award employ advanced anatomical and physiological methodologies, including in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology, optical imaging, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and genetic manipulation techniques. Through two specific aims, the research will characterize mGluR5 expression patterns during development, determine its modulatory effects on neuronal properties within the sound localization circuit, and assess how mGluR5 elimination disrupts normal circuit development. The findings are intended to advance fundamental understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying spontaneous neuronal activity necessary for proper auditory circuit development and maturation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
