This federal Project Grant award of $751,897 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to sharpen the understanding of the causal role of the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) in the brain network for social cognition. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the predictive value of MPFC lesion location on social cognitive profiles, 2) evaluate MPFC function during social behavior using functional MRI, and 3) validate...
This $781,464 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under CFDA Program 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants), will fund a 5-year research project at Brigham and Women's Hospital to develop a "multidimensional atlas of causal brain circuitry" relevant to mental illness. The project will use brain imaging and focal brain stimulation techniques to systematically map the causal relationships between brain regions and a range of transdiagnostic...
This $107,948 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants supports research to investigate how deviations in the development of the principal hierarchy of the brain's functional organization relate to transdiagnostic psychopathology risk and genetic factors. The project will leverage data from four large-scale developmental datasets including the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort, the Human Connectome...
This $1,611,022 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) will support a longitudinal study on adolescent brain maturation and its relationship to psychiatric outcomes. The University of Pittsburgh, the prime awardee, will use advanced neuroimaging techniques like ultra-high field 7 Tesla MRI to examine neuropil growth/contraction and multiplex network dysconnectivity in adolescents at familial high risk for schizophrenia....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) provides $252,125 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the neural substrates of context-dependent decision-making. The project aims to leverage functional MRI (fMRI) and optogenetics in mice to identify brain regions involved in maintaining contextual information and understand how activity in these areas shapes...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $156,656 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), for a project titled "Advanced Functional MRI of Cerebral Cortical Layers in the Human Brain Using Ultrahigh-Resolution Linescan MRI Technology." The project aims to advance "linescan fMRI" technology, a high-resolution functional MRI method, to enable...
This federal Project Grant award, in the amount of $267,310, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under its Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant will fund research at Trustees of Boston University's Medical Campus to study compartment-specific inhibition and laminar circuit dynamics in the primate prefrontal cortex. The research aims to compare the spatial distribution, kinetics, and synaptic physiology of dendritic inhibition on pyramidal...
This $1,425,651 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to identify the neural mechanisms underlying interactions between distinct learning systems. The award to the University of Maryland, Baltimore funds a multi-year study to investigate how the prefrontal cortex coordinates learning across procedural and declarative memory systems. Key objectives include determining the task...
This NIH National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will create an open-access dataset of multimodal brain, physiology, and behavioral data from a large, community-based lifespan sample. The $3,093,740 award spanning July 2024 to February 2029 will leverage the existing NIMH-funded Rockland Sample II study infrastructure to collect comprehensive neuroimaging, neurophysiological, physiological, and deep phenotyping...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $608,309 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program. The funding will support a 1-year research project to investigate the role of the claustrum, a subcortical brain region, in flexible decision-making and cognitive control. The research will use two behavioral tasks, dynamic foraging and reversal learning, to test hypotheses about how claustro-cortical neural circuits...

This $662,470 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) supports research to investigate the structure and function of the anterior lateral prefrontal cortex (ALPFC) region of the brain. The research aims to address gaps in understanding the domain-general processes and anatomical organization subserved by ALPFC, which has been implicated in disorders like schizophrenia. Key objectives include evaluating ALPFC's activation and interactions across different reasoning domains, assessing anatomical landmarks for functional localization, testing hypotheses about layer-specific activation, and investigating the provenance of ALPFC inputs. The research leverages cutting-edge MRI technologies, including a 7 Tesla scanner, to yield novel insights. A sub-award to Advanced MRI Technologies LLC will support developing and optimizing specialized MRI pulse sequences for high-resolution brain imaging to enable this work.
