This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports a research project titled "Ultra-High Resolution Imaging of Category-Selective Visual Cortex in Autism". The $1,477,630 award, effective August 1, 2024 through May 31, 2029, is focused on using state-of-the-art brain imaging techniques to investigate structural differences in the fusiform face area of the visual cortex in adults with autism, and how these structural differences may relate to face and object perception abilities. The project will be led by the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, with sub-awards to Vanderbilt University and the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to support specialized aspects of the research. The outcome of this study aims to provide a more precise understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying altered perceptual learning of faces in autism.
