This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $408,541 to Drexel University to conduct research on the role of retrosplenial cortex (RSC) neurons in memory consolidation during slow-wave sleep. The key objectives are to investigate the neural dynamics of RSC layer-5 neurons and their connectivity and causal role in memory consolidation processes. The research utilizes large-scale in vivo...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $665,893 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on how hippocampal activity during sleep supports the stabilization and isolation of context-specific memories. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: 1) developing advanced machine learning techniques to study the evolution of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support research on the mechanisms and functions of temporal coordination in the entorhinal-hippocampal network. The total funding amount is $571,694, with the award period running from September 23, 2024 to June 30, 2029. The research aims to elucidate how the fine temporal coordination of neuronal activity across entorhinal and hippocampal...
This $850,000 Project Grant award, funded jointly by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering, supports research to understand how sleep and memory are connected in the brain. The project will use long-duration, high-resolution recordings of neuronal activity to observe changes in synaptic connections during sleep and memory tasks,...
This Project Grant award of $677,261 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program will fund research at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC) to investigate the role of the locus coeruleus, a brain region that produces norepinephrine, in regulating hippocampal neural networks during learning. The project aims to establish a causal link between hippocampal output, norepinephrine release, and the resetting...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $553,788 to Northwestern University to investigate the microcircuit mechanisms underlying the distributed cortical contributions to working memory. The research aims to understand how genetically identified cell types in the primary visual cortex (V1) and premotor cortex (M2) interact to generate different activity timescales and recruitment patterns...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $466,757 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on synaptic plasticity mechanisms that support learning and memory. The research aims to investigate how changes in synapse structure, specifically the dynamics of nascent zones and active zones, contribute to the formation and refinement of neural circuits. Key activities include...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research on the role of reward mechanisms in episodic memory formation within the hippocampus. The $242,310 award to The Johns Hopkins University will fund in vivo electrophysiology studies to examine how rewards, including expected and unexpected rewards, influence head scanning behavior and the potentiation of hippocampal place cells across the CA1...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants supports research to investigate the neural basis of human working memory. The $470,996 award to Vanderbilt University will fund neurophysiological recordings from human patients with implanted electrodes to study neuronal activity in the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions during working memory tasks. The goal is to better understand the neural...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the federal Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $625,108 to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) from March 2025 through December 2029. The project aims to investigate the functional role of the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) in associative memory formation, which is critical for understanding and treating memory disorders like Alzheimer's disease. The research approach involves...
