The National Institute of Mental Health awarded a three-year Project Grant totaling $3,618,976 to the University of California, Los Angeles under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop in situ single-cell multi-omic and morphological profiling methods for mammalian brains. Specifically, the university will work to design photonic-indexing sequencing strategies to spatially barcode tissue with single-cell resolution, integrating techniques such as PI-ATAC-seq and...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,008,977 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, is funding research to understand human brain development and the origins of neurodevelopmental diseases. The primary focus is on studying the genomic, cellular, and behavioral features of outer radial glia (ORG) and intermediate progenitor (IP) neural progenitor cells...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under CFDA Program 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants, aims to develop a platform that can accurately recapitulate and perturb cortical development and morphogenesis in vitro. The $679,072 award, granted on November 15, 2024, will support the establishment of bioengineering methods to print and differentiate single-lumen cysts into forebrain-like tissue, as well as generate organoids with correctly integrated choroid...
This federal Project Grant award of $800,485 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate the role of human-specific 3D genome conformation in brain development and disease. The primary awardee, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), will analyze cortical neuroprogenitor cells and glutamatergic neurons from human, chimpanzee, orangutan, and rhesus macaque to identify human-specific...
This $295,768 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to map the evolutionary expansion of the human cerebral cortex and analyze associated transcriptional correlates compared to the macaque. The research aims to generate more accurate cortical expansion maps, explore whether expansion has a distinct transcriptional signature, and determine if human-enriched cell types play a prominent...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to investigate the developmental origins of mental illness by studying the structure and function of the human hypothalamus. The $392,500 award to the University of California, Irvine will fund a 5-year research project that will: 1) develop normative brain imaging measures of hypothalamic development from birth to adulthood, 2) assess the impact of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) provides $1,411,593 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study an ancient neural enhancer called "HAR123" that has rapidly evolved in the human lineage. The research aims to elucidate the cellular and molecular functions of HAR123 in human neural cells, including neural progenitor cells, and investigate the neural roles of HAR123 in vivo using mouse...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $165,796 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the impact of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) genetic risk on microglial function and neuronal-microglial interactions. The research aims to leverage human stem cell culture and 3D human cortical spheroid models to assess how ASD genetic risk factors, such as...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) provides $156,656 to The Washington University in St. Louis to conduct research on mapping cortical area organization in healthy adults using high-resolution Human Connectome Project (HCP) data. The key objectives are to understand individual variability in human cortical areal organization, estimate the heritability of this variability, and identify its behavioral correlates....
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $911,929 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA on September 5, 2024. The grant will fund a research project titled "Scalable Functional Analysis of Neuropsychiatric Risk Genes with Spatially Integrated In Vivo Perturb-Seq." The project aims to combine high-content in vivo genetic screening with whole brain cytoarchitecture spatial information to bridge the...
