- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded New York University $837,599 on August 11, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate amygdala circuitry and fearful temperament in infants as a risk pathway for anxiety and related mental health challenges. The research identifies amygdala connectivity patterns associated with fearful temperament across the first two years of life, characterizes longitudinal changes in amygdala connectivity, and examines how...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Washington University $103,310 on August 3, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242, K99MH144521) to investigate the causal dynamics of human amygdala-prefrontal circuits during fear extinction learning. The recipient will conduct intracranial electrophysiology and neuromodulation research using clinically indicated stereoelectroencephalography electrodes implanted in epilepsy patients undergoing SEEG monitoring....
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Pittsburgh $705,236 on September 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate spatially-organized prefrontal circuits regulating fear expression and discrimination. The research examines how the rostral and caudal prelimbic cortex of the mouse brain differentially regulate fear responses to threats versus non-threats. The work addresses the pathogenesis of anxiety and trauma-related...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Texas at Austin $439,250 on July 15, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate the causal role of the amygdala in emotional memory processes using transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation. The research tests whether direct modulation of amygdala activity with low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound affects explicit memory processes in healthy adult volunteers, employing a...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Emory University $628,380 on May 13, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate dopaminergic and noradrenergic mechanisms of emotion-related memory across development from childhood to adulthood. The research uses behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and computational approaches across three aims. Aim 1 examines how affect induced by outcomes in a probabilistic reinforcement learning task influences...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science $465,301 on July 25, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate how social deprivation during adolescence impairs basomedial amygdala development and compromises social behavior. The research examines the role of the basomedial amygdala in regulating social engagement across developmental stages, with specific focus on how atypical social...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $433,125 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) for a two-year project period from September 18, 2025 to September 17, 2027. This research initiative investigates the asymmetrical development of early B cell factor gene 1 (EBF1)-positive cells in the central amygdala and their functional consequences in emotion regulation and...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Massachusetts Institute of Technology $127,224 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on August 1, 2026, to investigate neural mechanisms governing sensory-driven decision making through study of amygdala-striatal pathways. The K99 award (K99MH141244) funds research into how basolateral amygdala neurons projecting to the tail of the striatum instruct the selection of instrumental actions during perceptual decision making. The...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $426,250 in funding to Trustees of Boston College to support research on the neural circuit basis of safety learning. The research aims to investigate how interconnected brain regions like the basolateral amygdala, insular cortex, and infralimbic prefrontal cortex work together to process safety signals and mediate safety learning and...
