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...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $133,488 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the effects of early life adversity on the developmental trajectory of avoidance circuitry. The research aims to determine how cells within the basolateral amygdala that are sensitive to early life adversity drive brain-wide circuit reorganization underlying enhanced...
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 federal Project Grant award of $176,979 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants supports research to develop personalized neuromodulation approaches to target dysregulated motivational responses underlying social avoidance behavior in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) or social anxiety disorder (SAD). The key objectives are to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to causally modulate patient-specific...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $191,700 to Northwestern University to conduct research on computational modeling of ambiguity aversion in internalizing disorders. The key goals of the project are to: 1) test whether ambiguity aversion is a transdiagnostic behavioral and neural mechanism underlying internalizing psychopathology, 2) examine the time course of brain responses to...
This Federal Project Grant award of $196,460 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program supports research to identify the neural substrates that underlie novelty-related social investigation behaviors in mice. The project aims to leverage advanced techniques like cellular-resolution calcium imaging and projection-specific optogenetic stimulation to determine how social recognition information and motivated social behaviors...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $874,625 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study avoidance learning and its relationship to eating disorder symptoms in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The research aims to identify neural and behavioral processes that drive eating disorder symptomatology, with a focus on differentiating between active and passive...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is focused on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying psychiatric comorbidities across posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and anxiety disorders (ANXs). The $769,753 award will leverage large-scale multimodal neuroimaging datasets from ENIGMA and UK Biobank to identify neural biomarkers and biotypes that can help...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding a $211,248 research project to elucidate the neural mechanisms governing fear and anxiety responses within the human hippocampal-amygdala circuit. The project aims to 1) investigate the acquisition, extinction, and renewal of fear responses, 2) explore whether targeted stimulation of the amygdala can facilitate recovery from maladaptive fear...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,453,943 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for the period of June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028. The grant will fund the development of an integrated, portable sensor suite to concurrently record neural activity, physiological arousal, motor signals, and physical interactions in social environments. The project aims to track neuro-behavioral attention...
