This $502,742 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will support research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying how the piriform cortex in the mammalian brain processes and encodes olfactory information. The research aims to uncover fundamental principles of sensory processing and neural coding, which has broad implications for sensory...
This $650,049 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program will support research to investigate the structural determinants and in vivo neural signaling of odorant receptors in the mouse olfactory system. The research aims to: 1) Determine how odorant receptor activation profiles correlate with in vivo neural activity patterns at the sensory neuron and...
This federal Project Grant award for $423,500 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders will fund research at Florida State University to investigate how the piriform cortex (PCX) region of the brain encodes olfactory information. The research project aims to examine how individual and ensemble PCX neurons encode odor identity across different concentration regimes, and how...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), is funding research to investigate the circuit between the ventral CA1 (vCA1) region of the hippocampus and the main olfactory bulb (MOB) in mice. The research aims to understand how cognitive aspects of behavior, such as a sense of environment or anxiety, can influence the encoding of chemical...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), provides $665,886 in funding to New York University School of Medicine to conduct research on information processing in the peripheral olfactory system. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the transformation of odor responses from the olfactory bulb glomeruli to mitral and tufted...
This $541,327 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research investigating how hunger and thirst influence olfactory perception and behavior in mice. The award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2029, will leverage genetic approaches to study how hunger and thirst selectively modulate neural circuits responsive to food...

The key products or services to be delivered under this award include: 1) Establishing the axes of transcriptional variation in human...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal grant program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173), provides $149,804 in funding to the University of Utah to conduct research investigating the functional organization of inhibitory circuits in the olfactory system. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) test models of lateral inhibitory organization in the olfactory...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), provides $1,128,268 to support research on transcriptional adaptation and sensory function in the olfactory system. The award to President and Fellows of Harvard College, acting through Harvard Medical School, will investigate how experience-dependent changes in gene expression patterns in...
This $1,836,842 Project Grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will support research into sensory-motor strategies for odor-guided navigation. Funded under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program, the Trustees of Boston University will conduct research to better understand how spatial information is encoded in the olfactory bulb during odor-guided search behaviors in mice. Researchers will use new imaging tools to...
