This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will fund a 5-year study to examine the relationship between parent-child neurobehavioral synchrony and early trajectories of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in preschool-aged children. The $673,803 award, starting on December 1, 2024, will support the University of Pittsburgh in using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)...
This $176,180 federal Project Grant award 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 Pittsburgh to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotional responses to acute psychological stress. The funded study will use noninvasive neuromodulation techniques, such as continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), combined with functional neuroimaging, to examine the causal...
This federal Project Grant award of $592,831, awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to understand the neural circuit mechanisms linking early life trauma to impulsive aggression. The primary goal is to characterize the role of the thalamic nucleus reuniens (RE) and its projections to the ventral hippocampus in mediating the maladaptive effects of early life trauma on aggressive behaviors. The...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), awarded a $978,628 Project Grant to Neurotrainer, Inc. to conduct a feasibility and efficacy study of their NeuroTrainer cognitive training intervention for students with and without attention-related difficulties. The study aims to improve attentional and executive control function, evaluate the efficacy of NeuroTrainer in addressing ADHD inattention symptoms, and demonstrate...
This federal Project Grant award of $734,220.00, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to investigate the impact of early life adversity on positive affect and its neural underpinnings. The University of Pittsburgh will conduct this research, which includes: Determining if there is a reduction in the behavioral persistence or intensity of positive affect for youth exposed to adversity. Examining if...
This Project Grant award of $711,897.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program supports research to explore the role of serotonin in modulating aggressive and prosocial behaviors. The key research objectives are to: Characterize the temporal dynamics of serotonin's effects on aggression and prosocial behavior using optogenetic manipulations and serotonin sensor recordings. Identify the specific subpopulations of neurons...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $181,234 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) will fund research to study the impact of early psychostimulant exposure on sleep neurophysiology and circadian rhythms in animal models of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The research aims to break down the complex relationship between ADHD, psychostimulant medications like methylphenidate, and their...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 5-year, $857,216 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) to study the neurodevelopmental trajectories leading to early symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and disruptive behaviors in socioeconomically disadvantaged, racially and ethnically diverse children. The key objectives of this project are to: 1)...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will provide $3,085,041 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct longitudinal research on adolescent brain maturation and its relationship to psychopathology. The research aims to: Characterize the longitudinal trajectory of neuropil growth/contraction using 3D whole-brain phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS). Elucidate the relationship...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $745,822.00 and provided 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 the PERK kinase in HIV-induced neuroinflammation and neurocognitive impairment (NCI) in people with HIV (PWH). The University of Pennsylvania, as the primary grantee, will use biochemical, cellular, and pharmacologic approaches to assess PERK's potential as a predictive...
