The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded Max Planck Florida Institute For Neuroscience a Project Grant of $518,582 (awarded May 20, 2026; completion April 30, 2031) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. This award funds fundamental neuroscience research investigating sensory-motor transformations underlying goal-directed walking behavior. The research employs the Drosophila model system to examine how visual sensory inputs are transformed into directed-walking motor outputs through a defined neural circuit (DNP09). The deliverables include characterization of neural circuit physiology and connectivity at cellular and synaptic resolution using whole-cell electrophysiological recordings, biophysically detailed neural models, and novel experimental techniques. The research outputs are expected to provide mechanistic insights into conserved neural principles governing object-directed locomotion with potential implications for understanding mobility disorders in vertebrates, including humans.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
