The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a Project Grant of $273,254.00 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) on January 1, 2025 under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant supports UCSD's research project titled "CRCNS: THALAMOCORTICAL VS. RECURRENT CONNECTIVITY IN ACTIVE SENSATION OF VIBRISSA TOUCH - RELEVANCE", which is focused on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying active sensory processing, particularly the role of thalamocortical and recurrent connectivity in vibrissa (whisker) touch. The project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2028 and will contribute to advancing knowledge in the neurosciences and informing potential therapeutic interventions for neurological disorders.
