This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) for $385,612 aims to integrate experimental and computational models to study prefrontal microcircuit changes during healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease progression. The research team at the University of Wyoming will use in vivo calcium imaging, computational simulation modeling, and neural decoding to directly visualize and predict microcircuit changes in the prefrontal cortex. A sub-award of an...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $636,342 to Trustees of Boston University's Boston University Medical Campus to conduct multiscale modeling and empirical studies of normal and pathological brain aging. The research aims to elucidate the relationships between myelin dystrophy, synaptic loss, and neuronal hyperexcitability in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and how these changes contribute to age- and Alzheimer's...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $817,357 to the J. David Gladstone Institutes to develop advanced machine learning approaches for comprehensive behavioral and brain signal analysis in humanized Alzheimer's disease mouse models. The key products and services to be delivered include: Validating a machine learning platform called Variational Animal Motion Embedding (VAME) for high-resolution...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) for $791,086 aims to develop computational models that can predict the presence of non-Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes, such as Lewy body disease, TDP-43 proteinopathy, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, in individuals with Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes. The project will leverage data from autopsy-confirmed datasets, in vivo neuroimaging, and clinical assessments to build...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $416,480 to the University of Washington to map the landscape of the aged human brain and develop neurodegenerative disease models. The award will fund a two-phase research project that aims to: 1) identify molecular drivers of brain aging by applying explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods to human brain datasets, and 2) manipulate these aging drivers in human induced pluripotent stem...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $466,125 to New York University (NYU) to develop a biologically relevant multi-scale model of brain aging using advanced diffusion MRI (dMRI) techniques. The project aims to generate brain charts of quantitative dMRI and mesoscopic MRI (mesoMRI) markers across the lifespan, creating a brain microstructure age framework. This framework will then be used to evaluate the effects of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the conversion of glial cells into functional new neurons in the aged adult brain. The $126,956 award, effective April 1, 2025 through February 28, 2027, will enable the University of California, San Diego to utilize single-cell spatial transcriptomics technology to systematically map the cellular pathways and molecular events involved...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $203,278 to Brandeis University from November 2024 to January 2026 to conduct research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying daily life activity participation in older adults and its relationship to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The project will use a multilevel, multimodal framework including behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic approaches to understand...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) is providing $2,331,210 to the University of Maryland, Baltimore to develop novel analytical methods to better understand and predict post-fracture recovery trajectories in older adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The key products and services to be delivered include: Novel machine learning-assisted methods to identify unique patient characteristics...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $663,376 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The project aims to identify key genes that mediate the selective vulnerability of brain regions to distinct pathological protein conformers, such as tau and alpha-synuclein, using a novel computational modeling...
