- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $128,206 on September 1, 2026, under Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242, Assistance Type: Project Grant) to develop and apply next-generation imaging and perturbation technologies for mapping and manipulating cortex-wide networks during social behavior in autism spectrum disorder models. The funded research addresses cortical network dysregulation in autism by combining ultrasensitive dual-color...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $426,991 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on August 3, 2026, to support research decoding medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) plasticity across developmental life stages. The recipient is investigating critical periods of synaptic plasticity in the MPFC using high-throughput assays measuring long-term potentiation in mouse brain slices via multielectrode recording arrays. Aim 1 maps...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $620,848 on August 24, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop and validate a novel neural dynamic model characterizing volatility and rigidity of brain state dynamics in relation to youth externalizing behaviors. The research leverages the large-scale, longitudinal Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) dataset and employs single-trial and state-space models to...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory $528,000 on June 19, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to support developmental characterization of synapses between neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor cells. The funded research investigates structural, functional, and molecular properties of neuron-OPC synapses, a class of synaptic connections that remain poorly understood despite evidence that oligodendrocyte precursor cells...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Children's Research Institute $654,005 on June 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate the function of paralaminar amygdala neurons from adolescence to adulthood using a mouse model. The recipient will examine how paralaminar nucleus neuronal responses change over the adolescent-to-early-adulthood transition, determine the necessity and sufficiency of these neurons in that transition, and characterize...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Scripps Research Institute $878,601 on April 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to support structural remodeling of neural circuits via multisynaptic boutons. The research uses three-dimensional electron microscopy at nanometer resolution to reconstruct neuronal connectomes, individual synapses, and glia in the mammalian brain. The work combines 3D-EM with chemogenetic techniques for labeling cellular ensembles...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $772,569 on August 17, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct highly parallel analysis of high-confidence autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia risk gene mechanisms. The recipient will study approximately 50 risk genes identified as harboring rare, protein-disrupting heterozygous mutations associated with these neuropsychiatric disorders. The work leverages a...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded University of California, Los Angeles $764,785 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on July 16, 2026, to investigate context-dependent disease mechanisms in neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically the 16p11.2 chromosomal deletion (16PDEL) implicated in autism, intellectual disability, and ADHD. The project will use a proprietary in vitro human stem cell platform called the Cell Village to conduct high-throughput...
