This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $2,181,744 in funding to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research on the molecular and circuit mechanisms by which a genetic risk factor, neurexin1a (NRXN1a), contributes to goal-directed dysfunction across multiple neuropsychiatric disorders. The research will examine how NRXN1a functions within midbrain dopamine...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $422,280 to the University of Colorado-Denver to investigate the intricate nano-scale organization of neurexin proteins and their role in synaptic function. The research project aims to identify novel intracellular proteins that govern the distinct nanoscopic architecture of the neurexin-1 and neurexin-3 proteins at excitatory synapses. Using...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $647,833 to Northwestern University to investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment and social interaction deficits in neurodevelopmental disorders like schizophrenia. The research aims to determine how changes in the expression of key chloride transporters (NKCC1 and KCC2) in the medial prefrontal cortex contribute...
This $414,650 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate the molecular mechanisms regulating the maturation of silent synapses in the brain's excitatory neural networks. The primary awardee, the University of Pittsburgh, will employ genetic manipulations, electrophysiology, quantitative proteomics, and imaging techniques to elucidate the signaling pathways that control...
This $711,361 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research at Loyola University of Chicago's Health Sciences Campus to investigate sex differences in the impact of prenatal stress on cognitive function. The research aims to determine if disruptions in RNA editing of the GluA2 subunit of AMPA receptors in the hippocampus and amygdala mediate the long-term detrimental effects of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $692,043 to support research on the role of presynaptic homeostatic plasticity in mental health disorders like autism and intellectual disability. The research aims to establish a mechanistic framework for how homeostatic regulation of neurotransmitter release and excitation/inhibition balance may relate to the genetic underpinnings of these mental...
The federal Project Grant award K08MH139983, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to determine the information processing changes underlying the phenotype of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk gene in rats. The $196,597 award, with a project period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029, will enable the awardee, The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco, to employ automated...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $829,966 was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant supports research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying social information processing, with a focus on understanding how the brain encodes and integrates cues related to social familiarity and hierarchy. The research will utilize advanced neuroimaging techniques, including fiber photometry...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants program, is funding a $196,460 research project at Emory University to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying novelty-related social behaviors in mice. The project aims to use in vivo recording techniques, optogenetic stimulation, and computational approaches to elucidate how the ventral hippocampus, lateral septum, and nucleus accumbens pathway mediates the...
This federal Project Grant award of $429,000 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate how synaptic adhesion proteins guide myelination of specific axons. The two-year project, awarded to the University of Colorado-Denver, aims to develop new tools to visualize axon-myelin interactions and create loss-of-function mutations in oligodendrocytes to determine if variants in genes encoding the...
