The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $4,528,840 Project Grant to The Salk Institute For Biological Studies under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The three-year award beginning August 19, 2022 will fund research to functionally dissect cerebellar output circuits that orchestrate limb motor control. Specifically, the grantee will...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $503,439 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of Colorado-Denver to conduct research on the functional roles of inhibitory cerebellar outputs. This 4-year project aims to advance the understanding of how the cerebellum, a critical region for motor control, tunes its own teaching signals and actuates motor control through...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $216,689.00 and awarded by 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 aimed at measuring the effective connectivity between excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the brain to reveal the underlying connectivity motifs and computations that contribute to decision-making. The research, to be conducted by...
This federal 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 $478,732 to Seattle Children's Hospital to characterize the cellular and molecular features of human cerebellar progenitor zones. The research leverages expertise in human cerebellar development and access to fetal tissue to conduct in vitro assays, live imaging, and...
The federal Project Grant award of $621,500 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) program. The goal of the project is to develop new methods for combined molecular and ultrastructural imaging of neural cells and tissues using advanced nanoprobes and cathodoluminescent dyes. Specifically, the award will fund the development of (1) detergent-free...
This Project Grant award of $454,385 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 at New York University (NYU) to investigate the cerebellum's role in perceptual timing behavior. The goal is to provide evidence of a causal link between the activity of lateral cerebellar neurons and the perceived duration of sensory stimuli, as well as...
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 $605,523 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Health Sciences Division, to conduct research on developing therapies that target Purkinje cell synaptic changes to restore circuit function in cerebellar degeneration. The research aims to determine if...
This federal Project Grant award, 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) program, aims to engineer a miniaturized ultra-widefield micro-camera array microscope (MCAM) capable of imaging a large area of the cerebellar cortex with cellular resolution in freely behaving mice. The $183,751 award, with a project period from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027, will...
This Project Grant award, valued at $481,250.00 and 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) program, aims to develop a synthetic biological system to manipulate subcellular RNAs and proteins in growth cones or synapses of subtype- and context-specific neurons. The goal is to enable unique forms of subcellular functional investigation in subtype- and...
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...
