The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded Rockefeller University a $423,750 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program. The grant, effective August 1, 2024 through April 30, 2029, will support research to delineate the molecular programs in the thalamus that promote and maintain working memory. Specifically, the project aims to identify the chronic transcriptional and gene-regulatory programs downstream of the orphan receptor GPR12 that sustain thalamo-cortical synchrony underlying working memory, as well as the acute recruitment of GPR12 signaling during working memory behavior. The overarching goal is to provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms in the thalamus that shape thalamo-cortical activity and enable working memory, which could inform therapeutic strategies for reversing working memory deficits associated with mental illnesses like schizophrenia.
