This Project Grant award of $390,000.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program supports research on the neural mechanisms underlying defensive behaviors and their relationship to anxiety disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The research aims to examine how the activity of prodynorphin-expressing neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus regulates flexible defensive responses,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports new mentored training in the computational neuroscience of higher-order threat learning and memory in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The $180,439 award to the University of Texas at Austin aims to build the candidate's expertise in applying advanced computational decoding techniques like multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) to understand...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) is intended to support research to understand the genomic basis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) through integrative analysis of rare genetic variants and other multi-omics data. The $424,175 award, spanning May 2025 to April 2027, will enable researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University to leverage large-scale whole exome and whole genome...
This $1,235,474 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program supports research to investigate the role of a thalamic-hippocampal pathway in suppressing and extinguishing contextual fear memories associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The project aims to use advanced neuroimaging and optogenetic techniques in head-fixed mice to elucidate how the nucleus reuniens region of the thalamus...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $610,152 to Duke University to study the structural and functional architecture of cortico-cerebellar systems in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The key objectives are to investigate the influence of PTSD, trauma exposure, and PTSD symptom clusters on the functional connectivity of cerebellar subregions, examine the structural...
This $1,413,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will fund research at Arizona State University (ASU) to develop a new model for identifying biocomposite clusters of stress-related psychiatric disorders (SRPDs). The key objectives are to: 1) identify epigenetic sites and brain regions most responsive to environmental factors, 2) identify genetic and endophenotype clusters that mediate the...
This $2,210,781 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 to determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms in A13 dopaminergic cells in the zona incerta that contribute to extinction learning. The research aims to advance the understanding of how dopaminergic signaling modulates extinction learning, which is a core deficit in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will provide $671,340 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) over a 5-year period starting May 1, 2025. The objective of this research project is to investigate the cellular mechanisms within the amygdala that drive shifts in valence processing (the brain's perception of positive and negative stimuli) across the female reproductive cycle....
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 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding research to mechanistically uncover the neuroanatomical substrates of anxiety-related brain circuits in humans. The $418,750 award, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030, will support a research project led by Yale University to investigate the roles of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula in safety assessment...
