The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $364,324 Project Grant under its Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of Oregon. The purpose of this 3-year grant, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027, is to investigate how the microbiome modulates the development of the visual system. The research will leverage the gnotobiotic zebrafish model to determine the specific cell types, signaling pathways, and bacterial products that influence early visual...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the NEI Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research to investigate the distributed neural networks underlying visual processing in the primary visual cortex (V1). The $144,362 grant, awarded on June 16, 2024, will fund a 3-year research project conducted by the University of Washington.
The primary goal is to determine how visual encoding in V1 is modulated by fluctuating brain-wide activity. The...
The National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), awarded a $593,827 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop innovative intraretinal stimulation approaches for improving the quality of artificial vision in patients with retinal degeneration. The research team, with expertise in neural engineering, retinal neurobiology, and retinal surgery, will work to define the mechanisms of intraretinal stimulation, optimize the...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $578,123 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct a comprehensive study investigating the role of central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction in chronic ocular surface pain (COSP). The 5-year research project aims to rigorously define the clinical, neurobiological, and treatment response features of nociplastic pain in a cohort of 200 COSP patients. Key objectives include...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $113,797 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to The Washington University in St. Louis. The grant aims to investigate the neural computations and dynamics within the visual temporal cortex (VTC) and medial temporal lobe (MTL) that underlie object recognition in humans. Specifically, the research will utilize intracranial recordings to examine three distinct neural coding models across the VTC and MTL, including an axis-based...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal grant program Vision Research (CFDA 93.867), provides $475,000 in funding to The Salk Institute for Biological Studies to characterize the connectivity and functional role of specific neural circuits in the mammalian visual system. The research aims to understand how retinal ganglion cell pathways carrying different types of visual information, such as motion-tuned and non-motion-tuned signals, influence the...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $487,862 Project Grant under its Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of Washington for the project "Dynamic Retinal Coding in Natural Environments". The project aims to investigate how the retina adapts and encodes visual information reliably when exposed to rapid and large changes in light intensity, which commonly occur in natural environments but are not well replicated in laboratory settings. The research will...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $741,499 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to the University of California, Davis to study the separate direct and transthalamic pathways that cortical areas use to communicate with one another. The 4-year grant, which began on July 1, 2024, will use the mouse and monkey visual systems to investigate the functional organization of these pathways between the primary and secondary visual cortical areas (V1 and V2). The researchers will employ...
The National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded a $331,131 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) to develop and validate a high-resolution retinal imaging system with light flicker capabilities. This system aims to enable objective characterization of the photoreceptor response to light and quantify differences between normal and diseased eyes, particularly for patients with diabetic retinopathy. PSI,...
The U.S. National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $665,243 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The Ohio State University to develop autologous myeloid cell therapies that promote visual recovery in individuals with optic neuropathy. The key objectives are to: 1) elucidate the reparative factors secreted by IL-4/G-CSF polarized murine bone marrow neutrophils, 2) investigate how these cells modulate retinal glial cells to induce a neuroprotective phenotype, and 3) characterize...
