- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Neurolux Inc. $1.248 million on September 24, 2025, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop and validate the Compliant Reversible Actuator and Detector Leveraging Electrophysiology for Organoids (ORGANOID-CRADLE). Neurolux will design and validate a multi-functional interface to measure and modulate neural organoid culture activity. The first-generation ORGANOID-CRADLE will integrate a multi-electrode array and...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Scripps Research Institute $878,601 on April 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to support structural remodeling of neural circuits via multisynaptic boutons. The research uses three-dimensional electron microscopy at nanometer resolution to reconstruct neuronal connectomes, individual synapses, and glia in the mammalian brain. The work combines 3D-EM with chemogenetic techniques for labeling cellular ensembles...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Pittsburgh $1,004,971 through the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on April 8, 2026, to develop a platform for measuring and analyzing brain activity, cognitive states, behavior, and physiology during multiday neural recordings in individuals undergoing surgical treatment for epilepsy. The project will integrate wearable technology and artificial intelligence for behavioral and physiological monitoring alongside...
- Purdue University was awarded a $1,304,216 Project Grant by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop and test a new platform for high-density 3D electrophysiology and two-photon calcium imaging in freely moving animals. The goal is to enable simultaneous recording of millisecond electrical dynamics and spatial mapping of neural circuit activity during natural behaviors to better understand how the brain processes...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Northeastern University $157,500 on September 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to explore the role of microglia in developmental effects of early life adversity on prefrontal cortex glutamate receptor development. The research investigates how microglia, resident immune cells of the brain, drive changes in NMDA receptor expression in adolescents exposed to early life adversity such as maternal separation. Prior...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Johns Hopkins University $538,657 on July 15, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to develop Neural Navigator, a standardized platform for quantifying circuit pathophysiology in patient-derived cerebral organoids using multi-electrode array recordings and machine learning-based modeling to decode psychiatric disorder signatures in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The project aims to establish reproducible...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,380,070 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to Duke University to explore the cellular properties and circuit functional roles of human cortical interneurons.
