The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $555,252 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, to conduct research on "Mechanisms of Neuronal Ensembles in Visual Cortex." The 4-year project, starting on May 1, 2024, aims to systematically characterize the biophysical and circuit mechanisms underlying neuronal ensembles in the primary visual cortex of awake behaving mice. Key objectives include understanding how...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $475,000 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. The goal of this 4-year project is to characterize the connectivity and functional role of specific neural circuits in the mammalian visual system that transmit visual information from the retina to the primary visual cortex. The research will use innovative techniques, including anterograde circuit tracing,...
The National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), awarded a Project Grant (K99EY034936) totaling $111,759 to the Max Planck Florida Institute For Neuroscience, a non-profit research organization. The grant will support research to understand how sensory experience refines cortical circuits to produce reliable neural representations that underlie perception and cognition. Specifically, the project will use advanced recording techniques to examine the...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a Project Grant under CFDA 93.867 Vision Research to Yale University. The grant, valued at $577,544, will fund research to investigate the neural circuits underlying visual representation in the medial entorhinal cortex, a critical brain region for navigation and spatial awareness. The 5-year project aims to determine the capacity of medial entorhinal cortex neurons to encode visual stimuli, identify the pathways and subpopulations responsible for...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $2,476,544 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San Francisco, CA. The 5-year grant, with a period of performance from June 1, 2024 to March 31, 2029, will fund research to understand how individuals with central visual field loss, commonly caused by age-related macular degeneration, adapt their oculomotor behaviors for tasks such as gaze shifting between targets in depth, retinal stabilization...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $413,920 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) to develop and validate new biophysical models of critical eye development processes.
