The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has been awarded a Project Grant of $1,008,977.00 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. This funding will support UCSF's research aimed at understanding human brain development and the origins of neurodevelopmental diseases. The key objectives are to study the complexity of human cortical development, including the genomic, cellular, and behavioral features of neural progenitor cell types found in the outer subventricular zone. This research will shed light on lineage trajectories, cellular fates, and the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal and glial diversity in the human brain. Additionally, the project will explore the role of these progenitor cells in neurological diseases like focal cortical dysplasia. The award period extends from December 18, 2024 through November 30, 2032.
