This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $443,671 to The Lieber Institute for Brain Development (LIBD) to investigate the molecular, cellular and circuit-level mechanisms underlying sustained attention deficits observed in neuropsychiatric disorders. The research leverages genetic and circuit-specific tools to dissect the role of the locus coeruleus-anterior cingulate cortex circuit and the...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to assess the spatial and temporal scales of attention effects and attention-dependent cholinergic release in the visual cortex of macaque monkeys. The $206,185 award, which runs from September 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027, will employ electrochemistry and electrophysiology techniques to test three competing models for the role of the neurotransmitter...
This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
This Project Grant award, totaling $1,650,642.00, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The award, effective September 1, 2024, supports research to elucidate the role of basal forebrain parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic neurons in sustaining attention, a cognitive function often impaired in mental health disorders. The research aims to map these neuron projections, assess their dynamics during attention...
This $125,734 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to understand how distinct subregions of the prefrontal cortex modulate visual attention and processing in the visual cortex. The key objectives are to: Quantify and compare the activity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACA) and orbitofrontal cortex (ORB) axons in the visual cortex during different stages of visual attention. Evaluate how perturbing the...
