This 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 role of oxytocin in modulating the activity of the supramammillary nucleus and its impact on social recognition memory.

The $813,406 award, effective July 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030, aims to elucidate the cellular, synaptic, and circuit mechanisms through which oxytocin receptor activation and oxytocin receptor-expressing neurons in the supramammillary nucleus affect the activity of supramammillary-hippocampal CA2 projection neurons to facilitate social recognition memory. The research will employ a range of neuroscience techniques, including in vitro electrophysiology, peptide optogenetics, projection-specific chemogenetics, and fiber photometry in behaving rats. The goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the brain circuitry governing social recognition memory, which could inform potential treatments for social deficits observed in psychiatric disorders.
