This $475,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research to characterize the neural circuits and information processing in the visual system of mice. The key objectives are to: Identify the specific pathways in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus that transmit different types of visual information (motion-tuned vs. non-motion-tuned) from the retina to the primary visual cortex (V1)....
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $237,914 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to The Johns Hopkins University to develop a novel technology for high-density mapping of neuronal activity in non-linear brain structures and circuits. The project aims to design ultra-flexible neural probes that can be conformally deployed along curved brain regions, in contrast to conventional linear implantation methods. This novel approach seeks to significantly improve the spatial resolution...
This R01 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $688,882 to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the neuronal computations underlying rapid and flexible visual categorical decisions. The research aims to enhance understanding of how the brain processes visual information and makes decisions, which is critical for addressing brain-based diseases and conditions that impair everyday visual recognition and...
This Project Grant award of $124,205 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) aims to investigate how the hippocampus and primary visual cortex interact to generate coordinated mental simulations during active behavior. The research combines innovative neural recording techniques and advanced algorithms to study position decoding in freely moving rats. The work will test the generality of this coordination, examine the feedforward and feedback...
This $556,525 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program will support the development, testing, and dissemination of micro-LED optoelectrode platforms for high-density recording and targeted cell-specific neural circuit perturbation in behaving animal models. The key objectives are to design and optimize high-density micro-LED...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $611,546 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to support a multi-year research project on the neural mechanisms underlying sustained visual perception in humans. The project aims to investigate how attention and awareness affect persistent neural representations of visual stimuli, the structure and information content of brain activity during sustained perceptual experience, and the...
This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will fund the development of advanced tools for genetically targeted all-optical electrophysiology in behaving mice. Specifically, the $4,381,836 award to President and Fellows of Harvard College, doing business as Harvard University, will support efforts to co-develop two-photon excitable genetically encoded voltage indicators and a new type of two-photon voltage-imaging...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) will support research by Albert Einstein College of Medicine to understand how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between different brain areas. The $159,362 award, with a project period from December 1, 2024 to March 31, 2028, will utilize high-density laminar probes to record population activity from multiple brain regions in mice during passive viewing and visuomotor feedback contexts....
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, supports research under the NEI's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867). The $242,310 award will fund a study to investigate how the brain's cortical hierarchies mediate visual categorization. The research will involve simultaneous electrophysiological recordings in the lateral intraparietal region (LIP) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) of non-human primates as they perform...
This $399,077 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program aims to optimize in vivo two-photon imaging methods using genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) to study sensory and cognitive signals in the somatosensory cortex (S1) of awake, behaving mice. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award...
