This $107,948 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) aims to study the stimulation of long-range cortical projections involved in visual-spatial behavior in non-human primates using a novel multimodal optoelectronic device. The research, conducted by The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, has three key objectives: Develop a multimodal optoelectronic device with microLED and transparent microelectrodes to enable colocalized optogenetic...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National Institutes of Health awarded a $1,198,422 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, effective September 1, 2024, with a completion date of April 30, 2029. The grant supports research to investigate the role of oculomotor proprioception in establishing long-term visuospatial memory. The project aims to: 1) examine the influence of area 3A inactivation on gain fields, long-term...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $611,546 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying sustained visual perception in humans. The key objectives are to investigate: 1) how attention and awareness affect persistent representations of visual stimuli, 2) the structure and information content of neural signals (field potentials and single neuron spikes) in the brain during sustained...
This Project Grant award of $232,500 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research on manipulating 3D object perception through patterned micro-stimulation of the visual cortex. The goal is to test whether stimulating specific V4 neuron clusters tuned to 3D geometric shape fragments can generate corresponding 3D shape percepts, as a potential strategy for restoring 3D vision in prosthetic applications. The research combines neurophysiological...
This $340,822 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the NIH Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying visual categorization. The University of Chicago will conduct large-scale simultaneous electrophysiological recordings in the lateral intraparietal region (LIP) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) of non-human primates as they perform multi-feature integration categorization tasks. This work aims to...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) has awarded a $1,969,806 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying flexible visual-oculomotor decision-making. The 5-year project aims to characterize how the brain implements and updates decision rules that guide visual-based choices and actions. The research will involve measuring and manipulating neural activity in key oculomotor brain regions,...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $577,544 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to Yale University. The 5-year grant, effective February 1, 2025, supports research to determine the capacity of neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) to represent visual stimuli, identify the pathways and subpopulations of MEC neurons that encode visual input, examine the microcircuit organization within the MEC that shapes visual responses, and link...
This federal Project Grant award under the National Institute of Mental Health's (NIMH) Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $470,996 to Vanderbilt University to conduct research on the neural basis of human working memory. The project aims to obtain neurophysiological recordings from human patients with intracranial electrodes to study the role of neuronal activity in the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions during working memory tasks. The researchers will also use...
This $125,734 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to understand how distinct subregions of the prefrontal cortex modulate visual attention and processing in the visual cortex. The key objectives are to: Quantify and compare the activity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACA) and orbitofrontal cortex (ORB) axons in the visual cortex during different stages of visual attention. Evaluate how perturbing the...
This $562,215 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) will support research to investigate the neurological representation of cone photoreceptors in the primary visual cortex (V1) of non-human primates using advanced adaptive optics technology. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the cone composition and receptive field properties of individual V1 neurons near the fovea, 2) assess the impact of simulated...
