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...
This National Eye Institute (NEI) Project Grant award (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $146,816 to Yale University to conduct research on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception and attention. The research aims to investigate how hippocampal differentiation, a process that distinguishes related visual stimuli, may bias visual perception and behavior through the repulsion of attention from related objects and features. The project uses behavioral and functional magnetic resonance...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) has awarded a $264,226 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The funding will support a two-week advanced research training course in visual neuroscience at MBL. The course aims to train students in fundamental concepts of visual neuroscience and modern research methods, including large-scale analysis of the visual system connectome, multielectrode neural recording,...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $476,451 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The funding supports a 5-year research project to develop a comprehensive functional and structural atlas of the dorsal visual cortex across human development, from childhood to adulthood. The project will leverage multimodal neuroimaging methods, including fMRI and quantitative MRI, along with innovative video game-based...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of Oregon to investigate how the microbiome impacts the development of the visual system. The $364,324 grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will support research to determine the specific host cell types, signaling pathways, and microbial products that influence visual system neurodevelopment. The project aims to uncover the mechanisms behind visual system dysfunction...
This federal Project Grant award of $159,362 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) will support research by Albert Einstein College of Medicine to understand how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between different brain areas. The project will utilize high-density neural recordings in mice to evaluate how locomotion modulates the communication of visual signals between the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), primary visual cortex (V1), and...
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,...
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...
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 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research to investigate how humans form allocentric (world-centered) spatial maps of 3D environments using visual information, without physical exploration. The $218,068 award to the University of Pennsylvania will fund two aims: 1) Identifying brain regions that support viewpoint-independent, allocentric representations of both viewed ("scene space") and...
