This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to investigate the developmental origins of mental illness by studying the structure and function of the human hypothalamus. The $392,500 award to the University of California, Irvine will fund a 5-year research project that will: 1) develop normative brain imaging measures of hypothalamic development from birth to adulthood, 2) assess the impact of...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $2,220,017 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the Lieber Institute for Brain Development in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant's objective is to generate single-cell transcriptomic profiles to study molecular changes associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) in the mood regulation circuitry of the brain, including the anterior cingulate cortex, basolateral amygdala, and hippocampus. The research aims to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support research to investigate how unpredictability in early parental behavior influences the development of emotion regulation and brain function in children, and their subsequent risk for psychopathology. The $176,638 award to The Washington University will fund a longitudinal study from birth to age 8 that leverages existing behavioral, brain...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $133,488 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the effects of early life adversity on the developmental trajectory of avoidance circuitry.
