This $617,737 federal Project Grant award 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 the thalamic-hippocampal pathway in the suppression and extinction of contextual fear memories associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The research, to be conducted by the University of Chicago, leverages a new virtual reality paradigm and advanced imaging techniques to uncover how...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a Project Grant (CFDA 93.242) in the amount of $618,863 to the University of Washington to conduct research on the neural dynamics of fear circuits in ecologically relevant rodent models of risk and trauma. The research project, titled "Neural Dynamics of Fear Circuits in Ecological Rodent Models of Risk and Trauma," aims to investigate the primary fear circuit mechanisms involved in risky decision-making within spatial...
This $1,539,703.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to elucidate the mechanisms by which inflammatory responses in the lung, driven by allergen exposure, can impact fear regulation and neural circuits in the prefrontal cortex that are dysregulated in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The research, conducted by the University of Cincinnati, aims to determine how...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports a research project to elucidate the neural mechanisms governing fear and anxiety responses within the hippocampal-amygdala circuit in humans. The $211,248 award, spanning from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, aims to: 1) investigate the acquisition, extinction, and renewal of fear responses using a virtual reality experiment; 2)...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $180,439 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of Texas at Austin to support new mentored training in the computational neuroscience of higher-order threat learning and memory in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The 5-year research project aims to apply advanced computational decoding techniques to neuroimaging data to investigate the mechanisms driving threat generalization...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will provide $390,000.00 in funding to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston from April 15, 2025 to February 28, 2030. The research project aims to examine how the hypothalamic prodynorphin (PDYN) neurocircuits regulate flexible defensive behaviors, such as flight and freezing responses, that are impaired in anxiety disorders like...
The federal Project Grant award R56MH139698, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to determine how enhancing serotonin (5-HT) transmission in the mouse infralimbic medial prefrontal cortex (ILMPFC) during adolescence can suppress activity in ILMPFC somatostatin (SST) neurons and augment ILMPFC-mediated top-down regulation of the amygdala and fear extinction in adolescents and adults. The total...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $571,694 to Cornell University to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying episodic memory formation and consolidation. The research aims to elucidate how temporal coordination of neuronal activity across the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus supports learning, memory recall, and predictive coding. Key activities include multi-region neural...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the role of reward mechanisms in hippocampal memory formation. The $242,310 award, with a period of performance from Sep 5, 2024 to Mar 31, 2026, will support in vivo electrophysiology studies in rats to explore how reward expectation and delivery influence head scanning behavior and...
This $2,210,781 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which dopaminergic neurons in the zona incerta region of the brain influence extinction learning. The research is being conducted by Children's Hospital Los Angeles, a leading pediatric academic medical center and research institution. The 5-year project, which began in August 2024,...
