- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $244,150 on April 15, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to support a project grant investigating molecular gradients underlying wiring plasticity in the visual cortex. The research combines single-cell transcriptomics, epigenomics, connectomics, and computational analysis to link genes, cell types, regulatory networks, and circuit structure in layers 2 and 3 (L2/3) glutamatergic neurons in the...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $1,356,963 on September 17, 2025, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to establish three resource and service modules supporting vision research through advanced tools and computational infrastructure. The Ocular Structure and Function module provides NEI R01 investigators with ocular phenotyping capabilities including morphological analysis, light and electron microscopy, ocular imaging,...
- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of California, Berkeley $143,031 on December 4, 2025, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to computationally model the role of spatial phase in the selectivity and invariance of responses in primary visual cortex (V1) and secondary visual cortex (V2) to intermediate-level features in natural images. The modeling-driven research will investigate how phase-related computations operate across V1 and V2 and generate testable predictions...
- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara $117,840 on March 8, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to support research on retinotopic-to-egocentric transformation in visuoparietal cortex. The award funds a Project Grant investigating how the brain transforms visual object representations from a retinotopic reference frame (based on retinal photoreceptor topography) to an egocentric reference frame (mapped relative to the animal's head or...
- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $132,173 on May 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to support research linking physiology, computation, and circuitry in primate visual cortex. The project funds development of experimental and analytical approaches to understand canonical computations—fundamental processing patterns underlying neural functions across hierarchical brain networks—by studying marmoset early visual areas V1 and V2....
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $737,998 on July 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to define area-specific cellular and circuit-level specialization in the human temporal cortex. The project will identify electrophysiological, morphological, and synaptic features unique to excitatory neurons in the human inferior temporal gyrus and test how cortical neurons and local circuits are specialized for object...

- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of California Irvine $431,750 on May 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to explore novel mechanisms of obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction. The research tests the hypothesis that alterations in meibum lipid synthesis cause obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction, leading to duct dilation and psoriasis-like epithelial inflammatory disease. The work involves confirming that human meibomian gland epithelial cell (HMGEC)...
