This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), will fund research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to study the neural mechanisms of sensory encoding after photoreceptor degeneration. The $237,588 award, effective June 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will leverage the vertical optokinetic reflex, a visual behavior that tracks global motion, to investigate how cone degeneration disrupts noise...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), provides $192,900 to support research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine examining how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between brain areas. The goal is to understand how brain states, as influenced by locomotion, modulate sensory processing and inter-areal communication within the visual system. The research will utilize high-density neural...
This $499,116 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to develop stem cell-derived neuronal relays to regenerate the optic nerve and restore vision. The key objectives are to: 1) measure the functional recovery from long-term optic nerve grafted neural stem cells in the injured visual system, 2) investigate the role of guidance cues on directing neuronal relay axons through the optic chiasm, and 3) target the...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under the Vision Research (CFDA 93.867) program, provides $500,500 to support research on the role of retinal ganglion cells in shaping the identity and function of neurons in the superior colliculus visual processing region. The key objectives are to: 1) determine how retinal input influences the morphology and transcriptional profiles of genetically-defined neuron...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $360,100 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for the project "The Effects of Sleep and ipRGCs on Computations in the Early Visual System". The goal of this 2.5-year project is to investigate how multiplexed photoreceptor inputs, including melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), mediate retinal and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research (CFDA 93.867) program, 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 understand how coordinated neuronal activity mediates decision-related computations by monitoring neuronal populations across three interconnected brain regions during visual decision-making tasks....
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, provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), will support the development of a large-scale neural connectivity atlas of the retina during different stages of degeneration. The $700,098 award to the University of Southern California will combine cutting-edge mesoscale correlative light-electron microscopy (CLEM) techniques and genetically-modified rabies viral tracing to construct detailed computational...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), will support research on the neural circuits underlying visual representation in the medial entorhinal cortex. The total award amount is $577,544.00 over the project period from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030. The research will be conducted by Yale University, and aims to: (1) determine the capacity for visual stimulus representation by medial entorhinal cortex...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $476,451 in funding to The Trustees of Princeton University to conduct research on the development of the human dorsal visual cortex. The project aims to generate a functional and structural atlas of the dorsal visual stream across child, adolescent, and adult development, leveraging multimodal neuroimaging, quantitative MRI, and behavioral experiments. This...
