This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to develop new tools to improve the organization, sharing, and discovery of intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) data for neuroscience research. The $876,576 award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, will fund two key objectives: Creating iEEG-BIDS compliant solutions to...
This Project Grant award, totaling $443,931, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The primary objective is to demonstrate accurate quantification of changes in brain morphology using a portable 0.05T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, coupled with autonomous control and deep-learning-based super-resolution reconstruction. The research aims to deliver densely sampled temporal neuroimaging data that can...
This Project Grant award of $535,153 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund a large-scale, single-cell characterization of molecular and cellular networks involved in mood regulation in major depressive disorder (MDD). The project aims to identify transcriptomic changes associated with MDD in a sample of 800 subjects across three key brain regions: the anterior cingulate cortex, basolateral amygdala, and...
This $2,576,654 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support the development of a cloud-based software platform and advanced computational pipelines to harmonize and integrate spatial transcriptomics data for the construction of a spatially resolved brain atlas. Key objectives of the 3-year project include: 1) Creating a cloud-based platform to standardize the analysis and visualization of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants provides $323,978 to the Child Mind Institute Inc. in New York to develop novel tools for integrating brain microstructure data with functional brain dynamics in human and non-human primates. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (5/1/2025 - 2/29/2028) include: Extending a brain reconstruction tool called "BrainBuilder" to create...
