This $3,051,000 Trans-NIH Research Support Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director will fund research at Harvard Medical School from September 30, 2022 to July 31, 2025 to advance understanding of natural vision in the primate brain using machine learning techniques. Specifically, the researchers will test experimental designs to best predict responses of neurons in the inferotemporal cortex to natural images,...
This National Eye Institute (NEI) Project Grant under CFDA Program 93.867 "Vision Research" will develop a novel genetic screening approach called Mosaic in vivo Perturbation (MVP) to systematically assess gene function in the eye. The $1,387,142 award to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard Medical School) aims to overcome limitations of traditional genetic screens through technological advances in single-cell RNA sequencing and CRISPR/Cas9 pooled perturbations....
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...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), totaling $259,095, supports the development of a novel ultra-high-speed volumetric imaging system. The system aims to capture the full electrical dynamics of genetically encoded voltage indicators from thousands of neurons in the cortex and hippocampus of awake, behaving rodents. The proposed approach combines structured one-photon excitation with advanced light field...
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...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the CFDA 93.867 Vision Research program, is providing $1,198,422 to study the role of oculomotor proprioception in establishing long-term visuospatial memory. The project, entitled "The Role of Oculomotor Proprioception in the Establishment of Long-Term Visuospatial Memory", aims to investigate how the brain integrates retinal signals from constantly moving eyes to create spatially accurate visual memories...
This National Eye Institute (NEI) federal Project Grant award R01EY037134, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $562,660 in funding over a 5-year period from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030. The award supports research by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to investigate the role of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor signaling in deep layer somatostatin-expressing interneurons and their influence on visual cortical plasticity during the critical developmental...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the NEI Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $264,226 to establish a new two-week intensive summer course in visual neuroscience research methods at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The goal is to train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in advanced techniques for studying the visual system, including large-scale electron microscopy, multi-electrode...
The Project Grant award R01EY036089, funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to investigate the effects of stimulating the nucleus basalis of Meynert on the activity of neurons in the prefrontal and parietal cortices during visual working memory tasks in monkeys. The $666,276 award, with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, aims to understand the neuronal mechanisms by which cholinergic stimulation...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), will support research to characterize the connectivity and functional role of specific neural circuits in the mammalian visual system. The goal is to understand how retino-geniculo-cortical pathways, carrying different types of visual information, influence the response properties of neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1). The $475,000 award, with a project period...
