- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $980,661 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to Neuralthread Inc. to develop a fully integrated "TULLEKIT" system for stable, high-density neural recordings in freely moving non-human primates (NHPs). The TULLEKIT platform combines ultraflexible 384-channel probes, a minimally invasive port system for deep-brain implantation, and a wireless recording headstage to address key challenges in...
- This $449,228 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will enable Neuronexus Technologies, Inc. (doing business as Nuvectra) to develop an integrated system for large-scale, chronic extracellular neural recording and stimulation in human brain organoids. The project aims to 1) create advanced biological assay chambers to support chronic electrophysiology while maintaining organoid health, 2) develop...
- This Project Grant award of $517,546, awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to optimize, benchmark, and validate a novel multimodal microelectrode array (MEA) probe that integrates fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) for sub-second neuromodulator sensing with parallel electrical recording. The research team, led by investigators from Dartmouth College, aims to develop this integrated MEA platform...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is supporting research to develop a highly optimized two-photon (2P) multiplexing system for enabling high-fidelity, large-scale voltage imaging of neuronal activity in vivo. The $768,000 grant, awarded on September 20, 2025, aims to address the technical challenges of current voltage imaging techniques, which have been limited to small neuron...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) is for the development and commercialization of an automated platform for high-throughput behavioral and electrophysiology research in freely behaving rats. The $1,266,318 award to Spikegadgets, Inc., a neuroscience research equipment company based in San Francisco, CA, will fund the creation of an integrated system that can administer operant...
- This Project Grant award, with $443,931 in funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to demonstrate accurate quantification of changes in brain morphology using a portable 0.05T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. The study will exploit the portability of the 0.05T scanner to acquire densely sampled neuroimaging data, coupled with autonomous control and deep-learning-based super-resolution reconstruction,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) is providing $449,390 to develop a precision functional neuroimaging platform to enable the collection of highly-sampled brain data by patients at home. The award was granted to Walnot, Inc. (UEI: N9QEPY3AHYM8) and runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027. The platform integrates a low-cost, wireless, wearable functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) device with a tablet app that delivers standardized neuroimaging-ready cognitive tests. This allows researchers and clinicians to remotely monitor patients' brain responses over extended periods, aiming to improve the reliability and reproducibility of functional neuroimaging in clinical psychiatry.
