- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded New York University $279,234 on May 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award funds research into neural circuits supporting olfactory computation and perception, combining two-photon calcium imaging with fast GCaMP8 indicators, patterned optogenetics, and large-scale silicon probe recordings to study olfactory dynamics in awake mice. The K99/R00...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded The Johns Hopkins University $194,270 on May 11, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate the development of auditory thalamocortical circuits and how they are altered in cases of congenital deafness. The project will establish a foundational understanding of how the thalamus and auditory cortex develop and mature through sensory experience, with...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of Pittsburgh $664,448 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award funds investigation of how heterogeneous neural responses in auditory cortex and secondary motor cortex contribute to auditory learning and perception. The project combines large-scale neural recordings with optogenetic manipulations to examine how local auditory...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of Texas at Austin $382,867 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award funds research on dendritic integration and synaptic plasticity in the medial superior olive (MSO), the first critical stage for processing interaural time differences—temporal cues the brain uses for horizontal sound localization and speech perception in...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded The Washington University $557,999 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award funds investigation of how inner hair cells in the cochlea encode sound frequency and intensity across a wide dynamic range. The research employs in vivo two-photon cochlear imaging integrated with single-cell...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded The Johns Hopkins University $650,639 under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) on February 1, 2026. The award funds investigation of crossmodal plasticity in adult corticothalamic circuits, focusing on how visual deprivation triggers compensatory auditory system enhancement in mice. The research tests the hypothesis that widespread plasticity of the auditory pathway...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded The Johns Hopkins University $654,879 on July 17, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to investigate cortical representations of electrical stimulation in cochlear implant recipients. The research elucidates fundamental neural coding and plasticity mechanisms responsible for cortical processing of cochlear implant signals. The project employs optical imaging and...
- The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the University of South Florida $164,329 on September 16, 2025, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to conduct parallel human and animal studies examining associations between extended high frequency hearing loss, speech-in-noise performance, and cognitive decline in aging populations. The funded research encompasses two coordinated aims. Aim 1 involves assessment...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded New York University $381,376 on September 1, 2026, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The award funds experimental and computational investigation of synaptic plasticity rules engaged in auditory cortex development and learning. The research generates datasets on fundamental plasticity processes during critical developmental periods, comparing spike-timing-dependent plasticity and behavioral timescale plasticity mechanisms. The work examines how different types of sensory experience drive learning rules in auditory cortex across development and adulthood, with collaborative experimental and modeling efforts on cortical excitatory-inhibitory balance plasticity. Performance occurs at New York University School of Medicine in New York, New York through August 31, 2029.
