This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $1,978,475.00 to study the neural basis of visual attention in the primate brain. The award aims to investigate the temporal dynamics and neural mechanisms underlying selective visual attention, including how low-frequency rhythms coordinate sensory and motor processes in the attention system. The research will be conducted by the Trustees of...
The federal Project Grant award K99MH137314, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to investigate the role of frontal parvalbumin interneuron maturation in the development of attentional abilities from adolescence to adulthood. The $127,305 award, granted on May 2, 2025, aims to characterize how the maturation of these specific neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex contributes to the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $443,671 to The Lieber Institute for Brain Development (LIBD) to investigate the molecular, cellular and circuit-level mechanisms underlying sustained attention deficits observed in neuropsychiatric disorders. The research leverages genetic and circuit-specific tools to dissect the role of the locus coeruleus-anterior cingulate cortex circuit and the...
This $2,153,762 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to validate electrophysiological biomarkers associated with performance in a preclinical assay of sustained attention. The research aims to optimize a rodent continuous performance test (RCPT) paradigm to determine the effect of target percentage on the time-on-task vigilance decrement, evaluate the optimized RCPT by assessing the...
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 investigate the neural mechanisms that coordinate learning across distinct cognitive systems. The primary awardee, the University of Maryland, Baltimore, will conduct a multi-year study using advanced behavioral training, electrophysiological recordings, and optogenetic manipulations to identify how the prefrontal cortex...
This federal Project Grant award of $606,029.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) to investigate the neurocircuitry underlying motivated reward-seeking behavior in response to stress. The key goals of the research are to: 1) Determine if a subpopulation of GABAergic neurons in the medial habenulo-interpeduncular (MHB-IPN) axis...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372) provides $1,413,807.00 to Georgia TECH Research Corp, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to conduct research on tracking the flow of attention in visual circuits across the brain. The key objectives are to: 1) Establish the neural timing of...
This federal Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $4,925,302.00, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program. The grant will support a comprehensive investigation into the impact of prioritized genetic mutations known to cause neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, such as autism, schizophrenia, and intellectual disability. The primary awardee, The Washington University, will lead a...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $553,788 to Northwestern University to conduct research on the microcircuit mechanisms behind the distributed cortical contributions to working memory. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: 1) understand how genetically identified cell types in the primary visual cortex (V1) and premotor cortex (M2) of mice interact to generate...
This $1,920,113 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to advance understanding of the structure and function of the anterior lateral prefrontal cortex (ALPFC), a brain region implicated in various mental health disorders. The project seeks to: Evaluate the domain-generality of ALPFC's role in relational reasoning across visual and auditory tasks, 2) Assess anatomical landmarks that...
