This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) provides $781,119 to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research on the neural population dynamics and circuit mechanisms underlying associative learning in the ventral hippocampus. The project aims to understand how different classes of ventral CA1 neurons acquire, update, and store information related to conditioned and unconditioned stimuli...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $678,430 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to investigate the role of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in inhibiting habitual responses in the striatum during decision-making. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: 1) test the hypothesis that the OFC...
This $1,425,651 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to identify the circuit mechanisms that coordinate learning across multiple brain systems. The University of Maryland, Baltimore is the primary awardee for this 5-year project. The research aims to: 1) determine the task components that drive interactions between procedural and declarative learning systems; 2) track neural...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,338,397 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on understanding spatial representations in the rat orbitofrontal cortex. The research aims to investigate how spatial information is represented in the brain and how it relates to value-based decision making, which is relevant to understanding flexible decision-making deficits observed in various...
This $235,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) will support a 2-year study to investigate decision-making processes in individuals with schizophrenia. The research aims to characterize attentional biases and neural activation patterns that underlie maladaptive decision-making, as well as evaluate the efficacy of cognitive strategies to improve reward-seeking behavior. Using neuroimaging, eye-tracking, and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $2,371,534 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying counterfactual thinking and regret processing. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: 1) Characterize how neurons in the nucleus accumbens, a critical brain region for value integration and action selection, encode...
This $1,920,113 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to advance the understanding of the anterior lateral prefrontal cortex (ALPFC) and its role in reasoning and cognitive function. The primary awardee, the University of California, Berkeley, will use cutting-edge 7T MRI technology to: Evaluate the domain-generality of ALPFC by assessing its activation and brain region interactions during visual...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support a comprehensive research project to investigate the neural substrates of context-dependent decision-making in mice. The $252,125 award to The Trustees of Columbia University will leverage whole-brain functional MRI and optogenetic techniques to identify the specific brain regions involved in maintaining contextual information to guide...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $624,368 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop a novel in vivo behavioral and neurophysiological assay for studying risk-taking propensity and associated neurobiological mechanisms. The 2-year project aims to: 1) Optimize the assay to capture extremes of risk-taking behavior and identify neurophysiological markers such as nucleus accumbens dopamine...
This $1,865,347 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 determine how the molecular heterogeneity of midbrain dopamine neurons contributes to associative learning and motivated behaviors. The primary aims of the project are to: 1) Identify the neuronal activity signaling patterns of ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons that co-release glutamate versus those that...
