This Project Grant award, funded by 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 investigate how patterns of synaptic connectivity between diverse cell-types in the nervous system contribute to the spatial localization of tactile stimuli in Drosophila melanogaster. The $243,590 award, effective from Sep 30, 2024 to Feb 16, 2027, will fund...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $502,563 to Villanova University to study the developmental and molecular mechanisms that reprogram neurons during maturation in Drosophila (fruit flies). The project aims to (1) determine how different subtypes of DDAG neurons in adult female flies contribute to mating behaviors and elucidate the larval counterparts of each DDAG subtype and their functions, and (2)...
This $1,414,816 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the functional stratification of sensory encoding in the biological gyroscope of flying insects. Specifically, the grant funds work at Princeton University from January 2022 through July 2024 to reveal the principles of sensory encoding and sensorimotor processing that flies use to control their halteres and aerial maneuvers. The research will combine in vivo imaging and analysis approaches from computational...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $404,340 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. The project aims to develop a novel method using split fluorescent protein tags to map the localization of neurotransmitter receptors within neural circuits in the Drosophila model organism. This work will provide crucial new insights into 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 fund research to characterize the development and function of medulla visual projection (MEVP) neurons in the Drosophila visual system. The $211,875 award to New York University School of Medicine, effective from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027, will support two key aims: 1) using...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) a $722,625 Project Grant under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372) program. The grant supports a 2-year research project to explore the neural circuits and mechanisms of internal state-dependent modulation of taste-temperature sensory integration in the fruit fly Drosophila. By leveraging...
This federal Project Grant award of $278,200.00 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (CFDA 93.372) program supports research to elucidate the neural basis and functional role of rapid turns, known as "body saccades", during olfactory search behavior in flies. The primary awardee, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), is conducting...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship at Raleigh, NC to study the neural control of acoustic duetting in fruit flies. The research aims to investigate how the brain evolves to generate new mating behaviors, such as female flies singing back to males during courtship. The project will leverage the fruit fly as a model organism to understand the neural circuitry that coordinates...
This federal Project Grant award, ID R56NS138435, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The $551,250 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026, will support research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of specific synaptic connections between neurons...
This $124,632 project grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will support the development of a testable biologically constrained model for path integration in fruit flies. Funded under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program, the awardee will use agent-based modeling, pattern recognition algorithms on flies' search trajectories, and genetic manipulation to test the roles of specific cells in the central complex of...
