Project Grant R01EY037837
- This $121,771 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying visual continuity. The research aims to establish an animal model for studying "blink suppression," a phenomenon where sensitivity to luminance changes is reduced when paired with blinks. The project will record neural activity at multiple levels of the visual system while animals...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $127,785 to the University of California, San Diego to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying active vision in freely moving marmoset monkeys. The research aims to investigate how the primate visual system, including brain regions like the primary visual cortex (V1), visual area V4, and frontal eye field (FEF), supports visual processing and attention during natural exploratory...
- This $517,600 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), to The Washington University in Missouri. The funding supports a research project titled "Visual Feature Competition Between Central and Peripheral Retinal Pathways" over the period from July 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) behaviorally assess whether larval zebrafish can perform eye fixation...
- This $192,900 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine to investigate how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between brain areas. The project will use high-density laminar probes to record population activity from multiple visual areas in mice under different locomotive contexts. The researchers will evaluate changes in inter-areal visual signal communication using...
- This $688,882 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) supports a multidisciplinary research project on the neuronal computations underlying rapid and flexible visual categorical decision-making in humans. The project employs a combination of large-scale neuronal population recording techniques and theoretical modeling to investigate the coordinated activity within and between brain regions like the posterior parietal...
- This federal Project Grant award of $123,794 from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to reveal the fundamental mechanisms of visual selective attention. The principal investigator at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will leverage an invertebrate model system to identify the neural components and computations underlying object detection and saccadic control pathways. These studies aim to further the understanding of simple...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides funding to researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to study the neural mechanisms underlying visual processing and behavior after photoreceptor degeneration. The $237,588 award, spanning June 2025 through December 2027, will leverage the vertical optokinetic reflex (OKR) - a visual behavior that tracks global motion - to investigate how cone degeneration disrupts noise...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $947,018 to the University of California, San Diego to support research on the role of pupillary and oculomotor measures in aligning internal goals with perceptual processing. The project, titled "Pupillary Working Memory for Adaptive Perception," aims to investigate how peripheral nervous system and sensorimotor mechanisms, such as pupil size changes and eye movements, may serve a...
- This federal Project Grant award for $434,296 was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research grant program (CFDA 93.867) with the goal of studying the neural and computational mechanisms underlying natural viewing behavior in primates, including humans and macaques. The research aims to determine how primates prioritize and guide their visual exploration, and how this is supported by activity in the visual cortex and thalamus. The award recipient, President and...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research), aims to elucidate the cortical neural mechanisms that stabilize locomotion using visual feedback. The $134,106 award supports research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from September 2025 to August 2027. The project will determine the neural circuitry for using visual feedback to stabilize locomotion in mice, focusing on the role of the mouse primary visual cortex in...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,038,798, provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research on sensorimotor processing in the oculomotor system and how it relates to the interception of moving targets through saccadic eye movements. The research project, led by the University of Pittsburgh, aims to investigate how the brain's representation of a moving target's location and motion affects sensory and motor processes involved in executing interceptive saccades. The research will utilize electrophysiological and computational modeling approaches to examine neural activity patterns in the superior colliculus during both stationary and moving target conditions. This work is expected to provide a comprehensive understanding of the sensorimotor mechanisms underlying the visual guidance of saccades to intercept moving objects. The project period runs from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2027.
