- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded The Ohio State University $630,925 on May 1, 2026, to investigate circadian clock physiology in cortico-limbic brain circuits and its role in regulating complex behavioral states including mood, memory, and executive function. The research examines how transcriptional timing feedback loops and clock oscillators outside the suprachiasmatic nucleus operate at cellular and systems levels within cortico-limbic circuits, and how...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded Boston Children's Hospital $711,952 under Project Grant R01NS144151 on May 2, 2026, to investigate circadian regulation of synaptic function and sleep-wake behavior. The research examines how circadian rhythms regulate synaptic function to modulate behavior with time of day, focusing on the molecular mechanisms by which the transcription factor BMAL1 and its phosphorylation at serine 42 orchestrate synaptic vesicle dynamics,...
- The federal Project Grant award R21NS136974 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The $466,125 award to President and Fellows of Harvard College, doing business as Harvard Medical School, aims to analyze the composition of two BMAL1 circadian clock complexes purified from the mammalian brain and develop procedures for determining their...
