This National Science Foundation project grant of $625,000 will fund research into the brain network mechanisms underlying task-general cognition and intelligent human behavior from September 2022 to August 2025. Under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Rutgers University, Newark will investigate how dynamic activity flows within cognitive control networks implement intelligent goal-directed behavior across diverse tasks. Researchers will utilize brain...
This federal Project Grant award of $389,735.00 was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program. The project aims to identify the neural correlates of mental simulation in multi-step planning, which is essential for decision-making and is often impaired in psychiatric and neurological disorders. The research team at New York University will use a combination of fMRI, MEG neuroimaging, and eye-tracking to study the...
This Project Grant award of $677,261 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program will fund research at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC) to investigate the role of the locus coeruleus, a brain region that produces norepinephrine, in regulating hippocampal neural networks during learning. The project aims to establish a causal link between hippocampal output, norepinephrine release, and the resetting...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $252,125 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying context-dependent decision-making. The research aims to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in mice to identify brain regions involved in maintaining contextual information to guide decisions, and then employ optogenetics...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $823,252 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Trustees of Princeton University on September 18, 2024. The grant will support a 5-year research project titled "CROSS-BRAIN, MULTI-REGION INTERACTIONS IN DECISION FORMATION AND DECISION COMMITMENT" that aims to enhance the understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying decision-making processes. The grant includes a $55,255 sub-award to The Johns...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program provides $1,978,475.00 in funding from August 6, 2024 to April 30, 2029 to investigate the neural basis of visual attention in the primate brain. The grant supports research conducted by The Trustees of Princeton University to uncover the neural mechanisms underlying the rhythmic, theta-based sampling of visual information during attentional...
This federal Project Grant award of $673,581.00, awarded on April 17, 2025 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 by New York University (NYU) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying statistical learning, a fundamental cognitive process. The research aims to build a mechanistic neurobiological circuit theory of statistical...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,920,113, awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports a research project titled "Narrowing the Mechanistic Gap for Anterior Prefrontal Cortex Function". The project aims to conduct a deep dive on the anatomy and function of the anterior lateral prefrontal cortex (ALPFC) region of the brain, which has been implicated in various mental health disorders such as...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) provides $633,438 to New York University to develop a data-driven framework for real-time neural control and targeted modulation of primate prefrontal cortical circuits. The research aims to uncover the principles governing multi-electrode microstimulation effects, develop a predictive control algorithm to evoke specific neural activity states, and explore how prefrontal...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to understand the causal role of the medial prefrontal cortex in human social cognition. The $751,897 award will fund a 5-year project by researchers at the University of Iowa to use a combination of lesion studies, behavioral assessments, and neuroimaging to elucidate how the medial prefrontal cortex functions within the brain network...
