The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $738,566 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853 - Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders) to The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. The grant will support research to define the circuit mechanisms that regulate somatosensory feedback from the body to the brain. Specifically, the project aims to: 1) determine if similar inhibitory mechanisms exist to modulate somatosensory signals across the body and different modalities, 2) investigate how these brainstem circuits and their cortical inputs function during behavior to adjust sensory transmission, and 3) examine whether top-down projections from the central amygdala can disinhibit somatosensory transmission. This research seeks to provide insight into how the nervous system dynamically regulates sensory signals to match behavioral context and clarify how circuit dysfunction can lead to altered sensory sensitivity. The grant period runs from April 1, 2025 to April 1, 2029.
