The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as the Health Sciences Division, a $2,554,313 federal Project Grant under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372). The grant, which runs from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026, will support research to determine if targeted in vivo manipulations of local circuit control...
This federal Project Grant award of $354,600 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative will support the development of a new set of methodologies for simultaneous, distributed perturbation of multiple cortical regions using patterned light. The goal is to enable data-driven inference of how large-scale patterns of cortical activity underlie...
This federal Project Grant award of $378,726.00 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) is focused on developing an innovative platform for measuring and quantifying social behaviors in animal models. The objective is to create a proof-of-concept solution for high-resolution 3D tracking of social behaviors in rats and mice using a novel deep neural network approach. Key products and services include: Design, validation, and optimization of...
This $156,019 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research conducted by the University of California, Irvine to develop conformable, expandable neural interface devices capable of monitoring brain activity in developing rodents as they engage in naturalistic behaviors. The goal is to identify neurophysiological signatures associated with the emergence of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under CFDA program 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants, provides $135,989 to The Trustees of Princeton University to comprehensively map the influence of gonadal hormones on network-level neural coding of proactive social behavior and related variables in mice. The goal is to unravel the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying social behavior and its dysfunction in mood disorders. The project develops new computational...
This Project Grant award from the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $169,515 to Emory University to develop integrated technologies for wirelessly recording and manipulating neural activity in freely moving mice. The goal is to enable more naturalistic study of sensorimotor dynamics and whole-body coordination during complex behaviors. Key objectives include implementing 3D body tracking, wireless multi-area neural recording, and wireless optogenetics. A sub-award of...
This $4.5 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, under the 21st Century Cures Act Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies program, will fund research at Baylor College of Medicine from August 2022 to July 2025. The grant aims to advance understanding of how the neuromodulators acetylcholine and norepinephrine shape cortical responses and influence behavior. Researchers will study the spatial...
The Regents of the University of Michigan was awarded a $646,000 project grant from 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). The funding will support research to identify the neural processes within the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) that underlie individual variation in cue-motivated behavior. Using fluorescence-based...
This federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is funding research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying social information processing and representation. The total award amount is $829,966.00 over the project period from August 16, 2024 to May 31, 2029. The research aims to elucidate how diverse social information, such as familiarity and hierarchy, is integrated in the brain...
This federal Project Grant award of $161,922 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program supports research to investigate the spatiotemporal regulation of mRNA and its role in neuronal remodeling during morphogenesis. The primary research objectives are to: 1) Characterize the localization and motility of the chickadee (chic) mRNA transcript during neuronal...
