The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $426,250 Project Grant under CFDA 93.853, Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders, to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. This 2-year grant will fund research using cutting-edge voltage imaging to examine how interactions between specific neuronal circuit elements in the hippocampus relate to the development of temporal lobe...
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 $499,953 to Stem Pharm, Incorporated, a biotechnology research company, to develop and validate a human stem cell-derived neural organoid model of temporal lobe epilepsy for drug discovery. The key deliverables include: Developing and characterizing damage-associated...
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, will provide $580,070 to The Leland Stanford Junior University over a 5-year period starting December 1, 2024. The objective of this research project is to examine how two key thalamic subregions (the anterior nucleus of the thalamus and the pulvinar) are connected to other brain...
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 $142,000.00 in funding to the University of New England to conduct research on the role of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus in epilepsy. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which the ventromedial nucleus is involved in the epileptogenic...
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 $372,625 to the University of Wisconsin System for a research project exploring the molecular and cellular changes in the epileptic brain as it transitions between low and high seizure risk states. The primary goal is to generate a detailed, single-cell level...
This $546,626 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 supports research to deconstructing the mechanisms by which electrical stimulation of the anterior thalamic nucleus (ANT-DBS) suppresses seizures in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. The primary recipient, Emory University, will conduct experiments to determine whether...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a 2-year, $438,836 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853: Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders) to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology. This grant will fund the development of a novel "Electrophysiological Networks Imaging" (ENI) framework to model and characterize epileptic brain networks using simultaneous scalp EEG and intracranial EEG (iEEG) data. The goal is...
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 $138,000.00 over 4 years to Texas A&M University-Kingsville to explore the effects of human epileptic disease using a fly model. The goal is to generate fly avatars of severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), a pediatric epileptic condition, in order...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $234,310 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The 2-year grant, running from September 30, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will support research to investigate the impact of synchronized neural activity between the hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex on spatial memory performance in healthy and...
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, will fund a $378,453 research project to advance the understanding of temporal interference (TI), an innovative non-invasive brain stimulation technique. The 3-year project at Emory University aims to comprehensively study the spatial precision, neuronal activation, and differential...
