This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $392,500.00 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct research on the developmental programming of the human hypothalamus and its role in motivated behaviors. The research project, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, aims to investigate the impact of early life adversity on the structure and function of the developing hypothalamus, and elucidate how these changes contribute to the emergence of maladaptive behaviors during adolescence that underlie mental health disorders. The project will leverage large-scale archival datasets from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) and Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) studies to develop normative neuroimaging measures of hypothalamic development, assess the effects of early life adversity, and explore the links between hypothalamic structure/function and motivated behaviors.
