- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $734,707 on August 13, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate the coordinated maturation of neurons and synapses in the adolescent human neocortex. The research develops a pipeline to retrieve and analyze tissue specimens resected during pediatric neurosurgical procedures for epilepsy, vascular malformations, or brain tumors. The study examines whether postnatal...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $620,848 on August 24, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop and validate a novel neural dynamic model characterizing volatility and rigidity of brain state dynamics in relation to youth externalizing behaviors. The research leverages the large-scale, longitudinal Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) dataset and employs single-trial and state-space models to...

The funded research addresses cortical network dysregulation in autism by combining ultrasensitive dual-color...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $192,192 on April 15, 2026, to develop an artificial intelligence foundation model for functional neuroimaging that predicts treatment response, stratifies patients, and identifies biotypes in major depressive disorder under CFDA 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants). The award funds three specific aims. Aim 1 applies pooled functional MRI data from individuals with major depressive disorder to fine-tune a...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $977,740 on September 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct research examining sleep as a predictor of depression onset in adolescence. The research applies a deep-learning framework to two large public longitudinal datasets—the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA; N=624) and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Cohort...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded $452,386 to President and Fellows of Harvard College on September 1, 2026, to study the plasticity of synaptic cotransmission in the mouse lateral habenula under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The research investigates how changes in the valence of learned associations induce synaptic plasticity in the lateral habenula—a brain structure implicated in mood disorders—and subsequently alter downstream dopamine signaling....
