This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) totaling $196,460.00 will support research to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying social recognition and investigation behaviors in mice. The primary objective is to leverage advanced in vivo recording techniques, optogenetic stimulation, and computational approaches to determine how information about the novelty of a social stimulus is encoded...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,932,991 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to Yale University to conduct research on neural computations underlying learning, decision-making, and memory. The 5-year project aims to characterize core computations of value, uncertainty, and prediction error across cognitive processes and domains, and identify associations between these computations and symptoms of anxiety and stress-related disorders. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $135,989 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to comprehensively map the influence of gonadal hormones on network-level coding of proactive social behavior and related variables, and identify sites of in vivo hormonal action. The research aims to unravel the neuroendocrine mechanisms that promote proactive social behavior, a critical step toward understanding the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $120,015 to support research at Harvard University focused on understanding the neural circuits and transcriptomic mechanisms governing innate behaviors, such as sleep, feeding, and social interactions. The project aims to develop novel technological approaches to monitor large-scale neural activity and identify the transcriptomic identity of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $418,750.00 to Yale University to conduct research on the neuroanatomical substrates of anxiety-related brain circuits in humans. The research aims to mechanistically uncover the roles of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula in safety assessment and aversive outcome processing during threat avoidance. This will be...
This $742,484 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under CFDA Program 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants will support research to characterize a genetic mouse model and delineate its function in the brain. The project aims to obtain multi-omic single-nucleus RNA sequencing and ATAC-seq data to analyze and correlate gene expression and chromatin modifications in the mouse brain at three critical developmental time points and two key brain regions....
This federal Project Grant award of $715,999.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research by Yale University to investigate the role of microglial TREM2 in mediating the effects of early life adversity and enrichment on hippocampal synaptic development and cognitive function. The research aims to determine if overexpression of TREM2 can correct synaptic and cognitive abnormalities in mice exposed to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to investigate how enhancing serotonin (5-HT) transmission in the mouse infralimbic medial prefrontal cortex (ILMPFC) during adolescence can suppress activity in ILMPFC somatostatin (SST) neurons. The goal is to understand how this mechanism can augment ILMPFC-mediated top-down regulation of the amygdala and enhance fear extinction in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the federal Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $659,217 to develop a novel neuropeptide Y (NPY)-sensitive microelectrode. The goal is to create a tool that can continuously measure endogenous NPY release in brain slices and single cells, enabling research to establish connections between NPY levels and neurological disorders. The award recipient, the University of Puerto Rico, will work...
This $2,504,682 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports a study examining the links between neonatal brain connectivity and later social development outcomes in infants with and without a family history of autism. The study aims to prospectively investigate how inter- and intra-network functional connectivity in key brain networks are associated with measures of social attention and social...
