This Project Grant award 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, provides $1,830,562 to President And Fellows Of Harvard College, doing business as Harvard Medical School, from September 1, 2024 to May 8, 2025. The award supports research to elucidate the properties and functions of different types of mechanosensory neurons, define the organizational logic of tactile neural pathways, investigate how mechanotransduction contributes to somatosensory system development, and determine the basis of aberrant touch reactivity in nervous system disorders. The research leverages advanced mouse genetic tools to enable physiological, anatomical, molecular, developmental, and behavioral analyses of the mechanosensory system. The overarching goals are to reveal mechanisms of somatosensory neuron development and function, and the central representation of touch, under normal and disease conditions, while also training the next generation of somatosensory researchers.
