This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $578,329 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to leverage invasive brain recordings and immersive virtual reality environments to characterize the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying freezing of gait, a disabling symptom in Parkinson's disease. The...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $469,500 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to Michigan Technological University. The grant, titled "Dissecting Neural Circuit Mechanisms Underlying Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation," will fund research to identify the neural elements and circuits necessary for the therapeutic effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, provides $1,058,260.00 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on the neurophysiology of movement transitions in Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait. The 5-year project, running from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029, aims to investigate the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will support research to identify basal ganglia neural activity and brain networks associated with depression in Parkinson's disease (PD). The objective is to understand the basal ganglia pathophysiology of depression in PD and determine which brain signals and networks can be modulated...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $1,227,794.00 to The Washington University in St. Louis to conduct research on Parkinson's disease (PD) pathophysiology. The project aims to precisely map the connectivity of the somato-cognitive action network (SCAN) in PD patients, and evaluate how disruptions in SCAN circuits...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, will support the development of a closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) computational framework. The $146,500 award, effective from July 2, 2024 to June 30, 2028, aims to create novel open-loop and closed-loop multi-input multi-output (MIMO) DBS techniques to provide...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $684,451 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under CFDA 93.853 Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders supports a comprehensive research effort to advance understanding and treatment of Parkinson's disease. The project aims to: Identify Parkinson's disease progression subtypes through integrative analysis of longitudinal clinical, transcriptomic, and neuroimaging data...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, provides $163,184 to New York University School of Medicine to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying speech planning and their relationship to neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease. The research will leverage the access provided by deep brain stimulation...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, will provide $633,683 to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University over a 5-year period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029. The project aims to study how deep brain stimulation (DBS) can promote brain reorganization and motor recovery...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, provides $1,419,954.00 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco to advance adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) therapy for Parkinson's disease. The key objectives are to: 1) reduce the complexity and invasiveness of chronic cortical sensing...
