This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $267,310 to support research on the mechanisms of inhibitory neurotransmission in the primate prefrontal cortex. The key objectives are to study the spatial distribution, kinetics, and synaptic physiology of dendritic inhibition in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) of rhesus macaques. This research...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $1,920,113 to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the anterior lateral prefrontal cortex (ALPFC), a region of the brain implicated in various mental health disorders. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to: 1) evaluate the domain-generality of ALPFC's function during relational reasoning tasks, 2)...
The federal Project Grant award R01MH136228, with a total funding amount of $829,966.00, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The overall objective of this research project is to investigate the neural basis of social information processing, with a focus on understanding how the brain encodes and integrates social characteristics such as familiarity and hierarchy. The project will leverage innovative...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $156,656 to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to conduct advanced functional MRI (fMRI) research on cerebral cortical layers in the human brain. The research aims to develop and validate "linescan fMRI", a high-resolution fMRI technique, for mapping brain activity across individual cortical layers. This...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under CFDA Program 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants, provides $751,897 to The University of Iowa to conduct research on the causal role of the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) in human social cognition. The project aims to use the lesion method, behavioral assessments, and neuroimaging data to determine MPFC's role in orchestrating brain regions and producing social behavior. This research is expected to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $423,500 to the University of Rochester to study visual perception and predictive processing in individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The research aims to use EEG experiments to derive measures of top-down predictive processing in the early visual cortex, and to relate these indices to positive symptoms of psychosis across...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to elucidate the regulation of cell fate specification in the developing human cortex. The $682,470 award to the University of California, Los Angeles aims to identify the transcriptional regulators that drive cortical arealization and laminar identity, which could enable a better understanding of the etiology of...
The National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded a $7.7 million Project Grant under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies program to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York, New York. The grant supports research from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025 to reveal the computational mechanisms of primate face recognition. Columbia University will implement feedforward and recurrent neural...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants provides $107,948 to investigate how deviations in the development of the principal hierarchy of the brain cortex relate to transdiagnostic clinical psychopathology and genetic risk for mental health disorders. The 2-year award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania will leverage data from four large-scale developmental datasets to advance the understanding of...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $295,768.00, was issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant supports research to map the evolutionary expansion of the human cerebral cortex and explore the transcriptional correlates of this expansion compared to the macaque primate. Key objectives include: Generating highly accurate maps of cortical expansion in humans versus macaques using advanced neuroimaging and...
