The federal Project Grant award R21EY037065 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research by The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the use of patterned micro-stimulation of intermediate and higher-level visual cortex as a prosthetic strategy for restoring 3D object vision. The $232,500 award, active from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, aims to test the hypothesis that micro-stimulation-generated activity in V4 visual cortex...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), provides $237,914 to The Johns Hopkins University to develop and evaluate a novel approach for implanting high-density microelectrode arrays to spatially resolve single-unit neuronal activities from nonlinearly organized brain structures and circuits. The key objectives are to: 1) develop an implantation apparatus and optimize the probe design using an in-vitro test...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to evaluate the regenerative potential of human retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the regrowth of the optic nerve. The $147,486 award to The Johns Hopkins University aims to identify intrinsic factors that regulate RGC survival, axonal outgrowth, and functional recovery in a regenerative animal model, the zebrafish. The research will also test how modulation of these...
This Project Grant award of $437,310, provided by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research program), supports research to study the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying retinal remodeling following photoreceptor degeneration. The key objectives are to elucidate the genetic, morphological, and physiological changes in retinal ganglion cells that lead to hyperactivity and corruption of visual circuits, with the goal of informing strategies to prevent or reverse...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $409,375 five-year Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The Johns Hopkins University to decipher and apply brain algorithms for 3D object perception. The project aims to use artificial vision networks to replicate the 3D shape tuning functions of individual neurons in the visual cortex of macaque monkeys, with the goal of developing artificial networks that can achieve human-level 3D visual performance. Key components include training...
This $499,116 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to develop stem cell-derived neuronal relays to regenerate the optic nerve and restore vision. The key objectives are to: 1) measure the functional recovery from long-term optic nerve grafted neural stem cells in the injured visual system, 2) investigate the role of guidance cues on directing neuronal relay axons through the optic chiasm, and 3) target the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research (CFDA 93.867) program, provides $688,882 to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the neuronal computations underlying rapid and flexible visual categorical decisions. The research aims to understand how coordinated neuronal activity mediates decision-related computations by monitoring neuronal populations across three interconnected brain regions during visual decision-making tasks....
This Project Grant award of $259,095 from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), aims to develop an advanced optical imaging system capable of capturing the full electrical dynamics of thousands of neurons in the cortex and hippocampus of awake, behaving rodents. The project will leverage a combination of structured one-photon excitation and light field detection to achieve high-speed volumetric imaging of genetically encoded voltage...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), will provide $475,000 in funding to The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, CA. The goal of this 4-year research project is to characterize the connectivity and functional role of specific neural circuits in the mammalian visual system that transmit information from the retina to the primary visual cortex. The key products and services to be delivered include:...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to investigate how the hippocampus and primary visual cortex interact to generate coordinated mental simulations during active behavior. The $124,205 award, effective from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2027, is being provided to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct this research. The proposed work aims to provide key insights into the...
