This $475,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research to characterize the neural circuits and information processing in the visual system of mice. The key objectives are to: Identify the specific pathways in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus that transmit different types of visual information (motion-tuned vs. non-motion-tuned) from the retina to the primary visual cortex (V1)....
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $611,546 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to support a multi-year research project on the neural mechanisms underlying sustained visual perception in humans. The project aims to investigate how attention and awareness affect persistent neural representations of visual stimuli, the structure and information content of brain activity during sustained perceptual experience, and the...
The federal Project Grant award R01EY035249, totaling $605,903.00, was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of California, Davis. The overarching goal of this 5-year project is to determine the role of the medial temporal lobe in visual perception and working memory. The research will employ a combination of psychophysical methods, eye tracking, studies of patients with focal brain lesions, and high-resolution brain...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $562,215 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to conduct research on the elementary representation of cone photoreceptors in the primary visual cortex (V1) of non-human primates. The project aims to overcome optical aberrations using adaptive optics technology to measure V1 neural responses at a cone-resolved level. Key objectives include determining the number and types of cone photoreceptors that...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $211,988 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying orientation-dependent surround suppression in the visual cortex. The primary objective is to investigate how feedback connections from higher visual areas to inhibitory interneurons...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $577,544 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to Yale University to conduct research on the neural circuits underlying visual representation in the medial entorhinal cortex. The project aims to: (1) determine the capacity for visual stimulus representation by medial entorhinal cortex neurons, (2) identify the afferent pathways and specific neuron subpopulations that encode visual input, (3) determine the microcircuit organization within the...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $123,794 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying selective visual attention. The project aims to identify the neural components and computations involved in object detection and saccadic control, leveraging the fly visual system as a model. Key objectives include formalizing the selection mechanisms implemented by inhibitory...
This $427,500 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to investigate the contributions of specific inhibitory neuron types to visual cortical function. The project aims to first test and overcome limitations in using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to target gene expression in somatostatin (SST)- and parvalbumin (PV)-expressing inhibitory interneurons in the visual...
This R01 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), 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 enhance understanding of how the brain processes visual information and makes decisions, which is critical for addressing brain-based diseases and conditions that impair everyday visual recognition and...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, supports research under the NEI's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867). The $242,310 award will fund a study to investigate how the brain's cortical hierarchies mediate visual categorization. The research will involve simultaneous electrophysiological recordings in the lateral intraparietal region (LIP) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) of non-human primates as they perform...
