The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $429,323 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to New York University (NYU) School of Medicine to support a research project titled "CRCNS: DISSECTION AND CONTROL OF COGNITIVE THALAMOCORTICAL DYNAMICS". The project aims to study cognitive flexibility, which is the ability to mentally switch between different thoughts and action plans, and its relation to mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. The grant, with a period of performance from September 5, 2024 to May 31, 2029, will fund research activities at NYU School of Medicine to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive flexibility and explore potential interventions for improving cognitive control in mental health conditions.
