This federal Project Grant award of $565,257.00 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 grant supports research to understand how presynaptic modulation of synaptic inhibition onto hippocampal pyramidal neurons in the brain regulates spatial information encoding. Key objectives include determining how metabotropic glutamate receptor...
This Project Grant award of $234,310 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 conducted by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The project aims to investigate the impact of the timing of inputs from the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) to the hippocampus on spatial memory performance in both healthy and epileptic mice. The...
This $648,893 Project Grant, awarded 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 fund research to investigate spatial recognition memory and its relationship to cognitive deficits in epilepsy patients. The University of California, Davis will use a novel paradigm with photorealistic dynamic scenes to assess familiarity, recollection, and memory...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) is providing $495,907 to Florida State University (FSU) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The goal of the research is to understand the neurobiological basis of how the brain coordinates spatial memories and actions during navigation. Specifically, the project aims to: 1) Determine if the hippocampus-parietal cortex circuit encodes both map-like and action-based spatial...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as the Health Sciences Division, a $2,554,313 federal Project Grant under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372). The grant, which runs from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026, will support research to determine if targeted in vivo manipulations of local circuit control...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) provides $446,627 to the University of California, San Diego to conduct research on the function of the subiculum region of the brain and its role in spatial cognition and navigation. The research aims to systematically investigate orientation tuning and encoding of directional information in the subiculum, with a focus on how this brain region supports flexible navigation...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $753,794.60 to the Research Foundation For Mental Hygiene, Inc. (RFMH) at its Nathan S Kline Institute Division to elucidate the role of the supramammillary nucleus (SUM) as a key modulator of hippocampal theta oscillations and explore its potential as a therapeutic target for age-related memory deficits. The funded project aims to: 1) dissect the SUM-hippocampal circuits and their physiological...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to investigate the functional differentiation of place cell populations in the dorsal and ventral hippocampus of rats. The $232,183 award, with a project period from January 13, 2025 to December 31, 2026, will enable researchers at the University of Texas at Austin to use state-of-the-art neurophysiological methods to record place cell...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support research on the mechanisms and functions of temporal coordination in the entorhinal-hippocampal network. The total funding amount is $571,694, with the award period running from September 23, 2024 to June 30, 2029. The research aims to elucidate how the fine temporal coordination of neuronal activity across entorhinal and hippocampal...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research on the role of reward mechanisms in episodic memory formation within the hippocampus. The $242,310 award to The Johns Hopkins University will fund in vivo electrophysiology studies to examine how rewards, including expected and unexpected rewards, influence head scanning behavior and the potentiation of hippocampal place cells across the CA1...

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, supports research conducted by the Research Foundation For Mental Hygiene, Inc. (RFMH) to examine the microcircuitry of cue and spatial representations in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus. The $489,197 award, spanning July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030, will leverage in vivo calcium imaging, population decoding, and optogenetic circuit analysis techniques to better understand how the dentate gyrus integrates sensory cue and self-motion information to form spatial representations, and how these processes may be impacted in neurological disorders affecting spatial navigation and memory. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of hippocampal function and its role in cognition, with potential implications for improving diagnosis and treatment of conditions like Alzheimer's disease and age-related dementia.
