- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded the University of Texas at Austin $393,284 on June 13, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to conduct basic research on synaptic structural plasticity and stroke rehabilitation. The project examines how the brain remodels neural circuitry following stroke, with focus on reactive synaptogenesis—the growth of new connections among surviving neurons near...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded Emory University $234,750 on January 26, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to investigate neuromodulation of somato-sympathetic postganglionic activity after spinal cord injury. The research develops animal models incorporating clinically analogous epidural spinal cord stimulation to understand how neuromodulation can restore autonomic function...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The Ohio State University $586,866 on May 6, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853) to develop and validate a cellular transplantation therapy for cervical spinal cord injury using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived deep cortical neurons. The recipient will...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded Duke University $100,228 on December 16, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853, assistance type: Project Grant F31NS149497). The project investigates cell-type-specific contributions of the primary somatosensory cortex to skilled forelimb control using two-photon calcium microscopy, optogenetic perturbation, genetic access to projection neuron types...

The award funds research investigating the organization, plasticity, and regenerative capacity of reticulospinal neurons...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health) awarded $367,075 to the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne on September 5, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853, Project Grant R01NS150256). The award funds research into paired stimulation plasticity for motor recovery following cervical spinal cord injury, with the goal of improving reach and grasp movements. The project investigates two methods for inducing plastic changes in sub-cortical circuits: spinal paired associative stimulation, which pairs transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex with peripheral nerve stimulation, and startle protocols that pair transcranial magnetic stimulation with loud sound. The first project aim involves experiments in monkeys to determine which synapses are modified by these protocols and to validate assessment methods applicable to humans. The second aim develops approaches to enhance plastic changes through combined stimulation techniques. Performance occurs at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne in Great Britain, United Kingdom, with a period of performance from September 5, 2026, through August 31, 2031.
