The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $228,718 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to characterize the visual properties and transcriptomic signatures of excitatory neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) of mice. The project aims to establish correlations between cell type and visual function in V1 by combining in-vivo two-photon calcium imaging to study neuronal receptive fields with expansion-assisted iterative FISH to...
This $157,568 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying visual encoding and behavior in the context of retinal degeneration. The award recipient, The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will leverage a mouse model of selective cone degeneration to investigate the impact of cone loss on noise correlations between direction-selective retinal ganglion...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) has awarded a $741,499 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of California, Davis to study the functional organization of direct and transthalamic pathways used by cortical areas to communicate in the visual system. The primary goal is to understand how the separate direct and transthalamic pathways between the primary (V1) and secondary (V2) visual cortical areas in mice and monkeys facilitate visual processing and communication....
The National Eye Institute (NEI) has awarded a $111,759 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience. This 2-year grant, effective June 1, 2024, supports research to investigate how sensory experience refines cortical circuits to produce reliable neural population responses in the ferret primary visual cortex. The project aims to resolve the sequence of changes in response properties and connectivity across cortical layers...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $494,418 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) with a project period from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2029. The project aims to: (1) determine the anti-myopia effectiveness of various real-world visual scenes; (2) develop an improved repeated low-level red light therapy to reduce myopia; and (3) provide objective recommendations for lighting spectra that could impact refractive eye...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $227,265 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of California, Berkeley to map human retinal ganglion cell receptive fields in vivo at cellular resolution. The primary objective is to directly connect light stimulation of individual retinal photoreceptors to both the activity of retinal ganglion cells and the conscious percept of that activity. This work will be performed in the university's...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded Duke University a $201,250 Project Grant under the NIH Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to characterize the unique proteome of the photoreceptor outer-inner segment junction in the retina. The goal is to reduce the knowledge gap regarding the protein composition and molecular mechanisms of this critical cellular region, which plays a key role in photoreceptor function and is implicated in various retinal degenerative diseases. The project will employ...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $577,544 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to Yale University to conduct research on the neural circuits underlying visual representation in the medial entorhinal cortex. The five-year project, starting on February 1, 2025 and ending on January 31, 2030, aims to determine the capacity for visual stimulus representation by medial entorhinal cortex neurons, identify the afferent pathways and neuron subpopulations that encode...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $611,546 federal Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of California, Berkeley. This grant, titled "CRCNS: COMPUTATIONS AND NEURAL MECHANISMS IN SUSTAINED PERCEPTION IN HUMANS", aims to investigate how the brain supports sustained perception of longer visual stimuli, addressing a gap in the current understanding of human perceptual experience. The project has three specific objectives: 1) examining the...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $476,451 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to Princeton University to conduct a comprehensive, multimodal study on the development of the human dorsal visual cortex across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year project include: Developing two developmental atlases - a functional atlas defining the organization of dorsal stream visual space representations, and a structural atlas...
