This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $592,831 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to research the neurobiological basis of aggression stemming from early life trauma. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the in vivo activity of neurons connecting the thalamic nucleus reuniens (RE) and ventral hippocampus during aggressive behaviors in mice...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding a research project to elucidate the neural substrates underlying novelty-related social investigation behaviors in mice. The $196,460 award to Emory University, effective December 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027, will leverage in vivo recording techniques, optogenetic stimulation, and computational approaches to investigate how social recognition...
This federal Project Grant award of $444,125 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will investigate the role of serotonergic neurons in alterations to adult social behavior following early life adversity. The award, effective May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2027, will use the limited bedding and nesting model of early life adversity in mice to understand links between early experience, the serotonergic system, and social...
This federal Project Grant award of $440,000 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research on sex differences in the integration of visual social stimuli and emotional auditory stimuli. The project, conducted by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech), aims to investigate the underlying neural circuit mechanisms that drive behavioral synchronization in mice. The research will use...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under CFDA Program 93.242 "Mental Health Research Grants", is supporting a 5-year research project titled "A Seasonal Switch: Alternative Neuroendocrine Mechanisms Regulating Aggression". The $727,895 award, granted on May 8, 2025, will enable researchers at Indiana University to investigate how the pineal hormone melatonin orchestrates increased aggressive behavior in males and females...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is providing $711,897 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to investigate the role of serotonin in modulating aggressive and prosocial behaviors. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the temporal dynamics of serotonin's effects on aggression and prosocial behavior; 2) identify the specific subpopulations of neurons in the nucleus accumbens...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports a comprehensive research project to investigate the impact of genetic mutations associated with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders using mouse models.
