This Project Grant award of $278,200.00 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative program supports research to elucidate the neural basis and functional role of rapid turns (called body saccades) in olfactory search behavior in flies. The research aims to 1) test the role of identified neurons in generating saccades during olfactory search, 2)...
This Project Grant award of $1,341,874 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research on dendrite development, function, degeneration, and regeneration. The primary focus areas include:
Elucidating the molecular mechanisms controlling dendrite development, particularly the "tiling signal" that mediates mutual repulsion between adjacent...
This $1,717,171 National Institutes of Health National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke project grant supports research at New York University School of Medicine from March 2022 to February 2025 under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.853).

This Project Grant award, valued at $345,702.00, 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) federal grant program. The goal of this project is to study the cellular and circuit bases of motor control for active sensation, specifically investigating how fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) tune mechanosensory input using movements of their antennae. The...
This Project Grant award for $145,642 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) will fund research to investigate how tactile sensory information is represented and processed in the nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). The key objectives are to map the morphologies and connectivity patterns of tactile mechanosensory neurons from the fly's...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372), awarded a $1,124,850 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop "photocaged" DREADD agonists for high-efficiency, target-specific optical silencing of synaptic transmission. This 3-year effort (2/1/2025 - 1/31/2028) aims to create genetically-encoded...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $404,340 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. The project aims to develop a novel method using split fluorescent protein tags to map the localization of neurotransmitter receptors within neural circuits in the Drosophila model organism. This work will provide crucial new insights into...
