This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research grant program (CFDA 93.867), will fund research to investigate how the gut microbiome impacts the development of the visual system. The $364,324 grant, awarded on Sep 1, 2024, will support a grantee at the University of Oregon to use a zebrafish model to study the specific cellular pathways and microbial products that mediate communication between the intestinal microbiome and the brain to influence...
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 from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $688,882 in funding to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the neuronal computations that underlie rapid and flexible visual categorical decisions. The research aims to understand how coordinated neuronal activity across brain regions supports decision-making related to visual stimuli, which is critical for addressing conditions like Alzheimer's...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $510,689 Project Grant under CFDA 93.867 (Vision Research) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation. The grant, effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will fund research to define the functional organization and retinotopic precision of top-down feedback circuitry from the anterior cingulate cortex to primary and higher visual cortical areas, as well as the functional organization and efficacy of these top-down feedback projections during...
This $192,900 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), aims to understand how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between brain areas. The researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine will utilize high-density laminar probes to record population activity from multiple brain areas during different locomotive contexts. They will evaluate communication between areas using multivariate analytic...
This federal Project Grant award of $371,378.00, provided by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research), supports research to investigate the mechanisms of vision processing at the center-of-gaze (or fovea) in the primary visual cortex (V1) of the macaque monkey. The research aims to provide the first detailed understanding of how the foveal V1 processes high-acuity color vision, which is fundamental to understanding human vision but remains largely unknown. The award was granted...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research to understand the neural mechanisms that underlie flexible visual-oculomotor decision-making in the brain. The $1,969,806 award, spanning September 2024 to March 2029, will fund the investigation of where and how visual decision rules are implemented in the brain. The research aims to characterize flexible decision rule use, identify correlative relationships between neural activity and...
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 Project Grant award of $482,312.00 was provided by the National Eye Institute, under the federal Vision Research grant program (CFDA 93.867), to Trustees of Boston University. The project, titled "Testing a Dynamic Spatiotemporal Normalization Framework for Human Vision", will investigate how visual perception depends on both instantaneous input and temporal context, with a focus on understanding the role of normalization and temporal attention. The research will involve...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) supports research to reveal fundamental mechanisms of visual selective attention. The $123,794 award will fund a project at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the neural components and computations underlying object detection and saccadic control pathways in an invertebrate model. The research aims to uncover circuit-level mechanisms for bottom-up attentional phenomena and later...
