This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) is providing $495,907 to Florida State University (FSU) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The goal of the research is to understand the neurobiological basis of how the brain coordinates spatial memories and actions during navigation. Specifically, the project aims to: 1) Determine if the hippocampus-parietal cortex circuit encodes both map-like and action-based spatial...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) provides $446,627 to the University of California, San Diego to conduct research on the function of the subiculum region of the brain and its role in spatial cognition and navigation. The research aims to systematically investigate orientation tuning and encoding of directional information in the subiculum, with a focus on how this brain region supports flexible navigation...

This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying how social stimuli elicit motivated behavior. The $816,063 award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will support a 5-year research project investigating the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)-basolateral amygdala (BLA) circuit in processing social rank...

This federal Project Grant award of $338,600.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research to investigate the neural circuits underlying egocentric and allocentric cognitive maps in humans.

The primary objectives are to: 1) use computational modeling and single-neuron recordings in epilepsy patients to demonstrate the neural circuits for egocentric and allocentric cognitive maps; 2) analyze how egocentric and allocentric spatial cells reactivate when recalling spatial memories; and 3) identify how spatial cells become linked to neurons representing non-spatial features to encode object location memories. The project aims to provide new insights into the cellular mechanisms of spatial navigation and memory, which could help understand the cognitive effects of mental illnesses and develop treatment options like electrical brain stimulation.

The award is being provided to the Health Sciences Division of The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, a prominent academic research institution, and the project period runs from August 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.
