This $1,008,977 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, supports research to understand human brain development and the origins of neurodevelopmental diseases. The award aims to study two recently discovered neural progenitor cell types found in the outer subventricular zone of the developing human brain, which are key...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $587,853 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to fund research into the mechanics of cortical folding patterns in the developing human brain. The three-year award runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The grantee and sub-awardee, Boston Children's Hospital, will conduct research to improve understanding of how patterns in the cerebral cortex form during human...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $124,588 to the University of Notre Dame to investigate how physical forces, specifically axonal tension or the pulling forces exerted by nerve fibers, shape the complex folded structure of the human brain. The primary hypothesis is that axonal tension helps determine the placement of cortical folds and ensures efficient axonal connections. The research aims to develop advanced...
This $253,033 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Appalachian State University to examine the mechanical processes underlying brain folding during development. The project will use the mouse cerebellum as a model system to analyze how tissue expansion, tension, and fluidity interact to shape the complex folding patterns of the brain. Through a combination of 2D and 3D imaging, mechanical assays, and...
This $537,730 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to develop advanced in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies for studying infant brain development. The primary objectives are to achieve motion-robust, high-resolution (600mm isotropic) whole-brain quantitative MRI (qMRI) and diffusion MRI (dMRI) within clinically feasible scan...
This federal Project Grant award of $800,485 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research to investigate the role of human-specific 3D genome conformation in brain development and disease. The project aims to analyze cortical neural progenitor cells and mature neurons derived from human, chimpanzee, orangutan, and rhesus macaque induced pluripotent stem cells to identify human-specific topologically...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $295,768 to The Washington University in St. Louis to conduct research on the evolutionary expansion of the human cerebral cortex. The key products and services to be delivered include: Generating highly accurate maps of cortical expansion in humans compared to macaques, integrating neuroimaging data, myelin maps, and resting-state networks. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 "Mental Health Research Grants" will establish a platform to accurately recapitulate and perturb cortical development and morphogenesis in vitro. The $679,072 award to President and Fellows of Harvard College will enable the development of innovative bioengineering methods to generate organoids with correctly integrated choroid plexus, cortical hem, layered cortex, and ventral inhibitory...
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University), through its Health Sciences Division, was awarded a $445,009 Project Grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853). The grant's objective is to develop approaches for introducing developmentally-relevant inputs and reading out neuronal activity in human brain organoids to...
