The University of Minnesota was awarded a $3,972,414 Project Grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke within the Department of Health and Human Services to develop an electro-optical multiphoton microscope. The microscope will leverage advances in electro-optical beam deflection to enable random-access multiphoton interrogation of neurons and synapses with sub-microsecond access times. This will allow neuroscientists to collect the simultaneous recordings needed...
This $2,156,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), supports research to develop non-invasive methods for measuring brain oxygen, pH, and carbon dioxide levels. The goal is to better understand the relationship between cerebral blood flow, neuronal activity, and metabolic waste products, which could provide insights into loss of brain function. The research approach combines...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota will receive $4.67 million under a three-year Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging within the Department of Health and Human Services. The grant funds research under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to characterize neuroplastic changes and their relationship to emerging motor and cognitive deficits in individuals with isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (IRBD). Over the period of performance from August 2022 through...
