This $781,464 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to develop a comprehensive "causal wiring diagram" of brain circuitry underlying various mental health disorders. The 5-year project, starting July 1, 2024, will use functional MRI and brain stimulation techniques to map the neural circuits associated with symptoms across major mental illnesses, including depression, OCD,...
This federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying social information processing and representation. The total award amount is $829,966.00 over the project period from August 16, 2024 to May 31, 2029. The research aims to elucidate how diverse social information, such as familiarity and hierarchy, is integrated in the brain...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,978,475 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Trustees of Princeton University to study the neural basis of visual attention in the primate brain. The grant, with an award date of August 6, 2024 and ultimate completion date of April 30, 2029, will investigate the temporal dynamics and neural mechanisms underlying visual attention, including how low-frequency rhythms coordinate sensory and motor processes....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will advance functional MRI (fMRI) techniques to study cerebral cortical layers in the human brain. The $156,656 award, effective March 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will support research to validate and apply a novel "linescan fMRI" method that can achieve higher spatial resolution than conventional laminar fMRI. The awardee, The...

The grant supports research to integrate multi-organ imaging data resources, such as brain MRI, cardiac MRI, abdominal MRI, and retinal imaging, with psychiatric genetic studies and functional genomic data. The project aims to uncover the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under CFDA program 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants, will support research into the neurocircuitry underlying motivated reward-seeking behavior as a coping mechanism for stress. The $606,029 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025, will be administered by the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The key objectives are to investigate how sub-populations of neurons in the medial...
This $2,153,762 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to validate electrophysiological biomarkers associated with performance in a preclinical assay of sustained attention. The primary objectives are to optimize a rodent continuous performance test (rCPT) to study the impact of target percentage on vigilance decrement, evaluate the optimized rCPT using the stimulant amphetamine,...
This federal Project Grant award for $662,470, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support research to better understand the structure and function of the anterior lateral prefrontal cortex (ALPFC) region of the brain. The primary objectives are to: 1) evaluate the domain-generality of ALPFC activation during relational reasoning tasks involving both visual and auditory stimuli; 2) assess whether small...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program, provides $184,476 to the University of Southern California (USC) to conduct large-scale brain mapping research on bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The project aims to apply a standardized voxel-wise analysis method to create the largest studies of BD and the brain, as well as to identify overlapping and distinct brain signatures...
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 the development of a novel technique to selectively manipulate neural activity in the primate prefrontal cortex. The $431,750 award, granted on June 1, 2024, will be used by Rutgers, The State University to validate and refine this method using a primate economic decision paradigm. The goal is to modulate the subspace of neural...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $417,200.00 to Emory University to conduct research on characterizing and manipulating large-scale brain activity patterns. The key objectives are to:

  1. Use simultaneous wide-field optical imaging and functional MRI to determine if the distribution of quasi-periodic patterns (QPPs) in intrinsic brain activity reflects underlying neural activity patterns during behaviorally-relevant brain states.

  2. Investigate whether multisensory stimulation can alter the expression of neural activity patterns detected by optical imaging and the associated QPPs observed in fMRI.

The research aims to better understand how dynamic, large-scale brain activity states relate to mental attributes like mood, focus, and arousal, and how these states may be altered in psychiatric and neurological disorders. The findings could provide valuable insights for characterizing brain states and inform the development of modulatory interventions. The project period runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2027.
