Project Grant R01DC022946
- This $702,560 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) aims to investigate the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying invertebrate sugar detection. The project, led by researchers at Brandeis University, will use structural, functional, and genetic analyses to probe the mechanisms that control ligand sensitivity and specificity in...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports scientific research to investigate the interactions between the gustatory thalamus and gustatory cortex in the neural processing of taste perception and behavior. The $413,123 award, with a project period from September 19, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will be performed by Brandeis...
- This Project Grant award of $149,920 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), aims to investigate the role of SOX9-expressing progenitor cells in maintaining the circumvallate papilla (CVP) and von Ebner's minor salivary glands (VEG) on the tongue. This research is intended to enhance understanding of the mechanisms behind taste and salivary gland...
- This Project Grant award of $123,888.00 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.173). The grant supports research led by researchers at Harvard Medical School to investigate the mechanisms underlying experience-dependent odor categorization in the olfactory cortex. The research aims to explore how temporal associations between odors influence...
- This federal Project Grant award of $194,375 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) supports research to investigate the cellular and molecular basis for how insects, specifically fruit flies, detect and respond to high osmolality in food. The project aims to define the role of osmolality in modulating feeding behavior in fruit flies, and to identify the specific gustatory neurons and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.173), will fund research to investigate how temperature affects the perception of salt taste and its neural processing in the cortex of behaving mice. The total award of $129,142 will support a behavioral study to determine how temperature impacts the ability to discriminate between the...
- This federal 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), will provide $379,862 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to conduct research on the regulation of connective tissue in the cell renewal of mature taste buds. The key objectives are to investigate whether the neural crest-derived connective tissue cells in the core of...
- This Project Grant award of $665,886 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) supports research to characterize the transformation of odor responses from glomeruli to mitral and tufted cells (MTCs) in the olfactory system of awake animals. The research aims to explore the mechanisms underlying this transformation and reveal its significance for information processing....
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA Program 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders," provides $429,000.00 to the University of Colorado-Denver to establish human lingual organoid models as a platform for studying taste bud function and perturbations. The key objectives are to: 1) validate and characterize circumvallate papillae samples from male and female human donor tissue...
- This federal Project Grant award of $650,049, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research aimed at understanding the neural basis of olfactory sensation. The project, conducted by researchers at Duke University, investigates the structural determinants and in vivo function of three mouse odorant receptors, including how receptor activation...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research to investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying astringency transduction and sensation. The $780,751 award to New York University will fund a 5-year study to define the modes of astringency transduction, identify the cellular components necessary for transduction and sensation, and elucidate the role of trigeminal mechanosensory neurons in astringent perception. The project aims to clarify whether astringent flavor is transduced through chemosensory or mechanosensory mechanisms, and how phenolic compounds in plant-based foods activate movement-detecting neurons to elicit the astringent sensation. This research seeks to enhance understanding of how we perceive and respond to astringent flavors, which can influence food choice and consumption of healthy, phenol-rich foods.
