The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a 2-year, $438,836 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853: Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders) to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology. This grant will fund the development of a novel "Electrophysiological Networks Imaging" (ENI) framework to model and characterize epileptic brain networks using simultaneous scalp EEG and intracranial EEG (iEEG) data. The goal is...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $234,310 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The 2-year grant, running from September 30, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will support research to investigate the impact of synchronized neural activity between the hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex on spatial memory performance in healthy and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $372,625 to the University of Wisconsin System for a research project exploring the molecular and cellular changes in the epileptic brain as it transitions between low and high seizure risk states. The primary goal is to generate a detailed, single-cell level...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program, will provide $142,000.00 in funding to the University of New England to conduct research on the role of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus in epilepsy. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which the ventromedial nucleus is involved in the epileptogenic...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $427,625 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853 - Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore to explore the use of hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance imaging (HP-MRI) to identify epileptic tissue. The research aims to determine if HP-MRI of pyruvate can accurately detect elevated lactate production, a marker of metabolic changes, in a rat model of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will provide $225,400.00 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) over a 5-year period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029. The funding will support a research project led by Dr. Sharon Chiang aimed at understanding the hippocampal-cortical neuronal...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research to investigate the nature and function of inhibitory connections from the hippocampus to the supramammillary area (SUM) in the brain. The $565,552.00 award, with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029, will enable the Regents of the University of Minnesota...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded Brandeis University a $846,469 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The goal of this 2-year project is to elucidate how the ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport) machinery is regulated and deployed in neurons. The research aims to develop new visualization and manipulation tools to study ESCRT dynamics in...
This $1,204,564 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program supports the development and validation of "EPISCALP", a novel EEG analytics algorithm to enhance the accuracy of epilepsy diagnosis. The project aims to improve upon the current 20-42% misdiagnosis rate by using a dynamic network model to predict epilepsy...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $1,907,458 Cooperative Agreement under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program to Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The grant will fund a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of an e-health behavioral intervention, called Epilepsy Journey (EJ), to improve...
