The University of Rochester received a $264,250 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853), effective May 5, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2028. This research initiative focuses on developing and validating advanced neurobiological methodologies for precise manipulation of neural circuits in non-human primates, specifically addressing a significant gap in neuroscience research capabilities. The primary deliverable involves developing and testing a Cre-intersectional viral labeling strategy to selectively inactivate specific projection pathways in the visual cortex of awake marmoset monkeys. Specifically, the research targets the neural pathway from visual area V1 to MT (middle temporal area), utilizing retrograde viral vectors and optogenetic approaches to achieve pathway-specific circuit manipulation. This work advances fundamental neuroscience by overcoming current limitations in transgenic animal models and establishing more precise neural circuit targeting methods in non-human primate systems, with potential applications for understanding brain circuit architecture and ultimately supporting future therapeutic interventions for neurological disorders.Federal Grant Award Summary
