This federal Project Grant award of $579,101 was provided 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. The funding will support research at the University of Washington to investigate the role of specialized proprioceptive organs called "hair plates" in limb sensorimotor control in fruit flies. The goal is to leverage tools available in fruit flies...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $147,507 project grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of California, Davis. The project, titled "The Encoding of Proprioceptive Signaling by NAV1.6", aims to uncover the mechanistic role of the sodium channel NAV1.6 in proprioceptive signaling, which is critical for sensory-driven motor behaviors. The research will...
This Project Grant awarded 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 will investigate how tactile sensory information is represented and processed in the neural circuits of the fruit fly Drosophila. The $243,590 award to the University of Washington will map the morphology and connectivity of tactile mechanosensory neurons and interneurons in the fly's ventral...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $404,340 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. The project aims to develop a novel method using split fluorescent protein tags to map the localization of neurotransmitter receptors within neural circuits in the Drosophila model organism. This work will provide crucial new insights into the...
This federal Project Grant award of $211,875.00, provided 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 to characterize the development and function of medulla visual projection (MEVP) neurons in the Drosophila visual system. The research aims to determine which neuroblasts give rise to MEVP neurons, analyze their gene expression profiles, and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $345,702 to Vanderbilt University to study the cellular and circuit bases of motor control for active sensation. The goal is to reveal mechanisms of motor control for sensation at the cellular and circuit levels, using fruit flies as a model system. Key objectives include...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $481,126 Project Grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports research to structurally and functionally characterize how the UNC-6/Netrin axon guidance cue complexes with the UNC-5 receptor to generate repulsive signals for neuronal wiring, in contrast to the UNC-6-UNC-40/DCC attractive complexes. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $738,566.00 was awarded on April 1, 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. The grant supports research at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California to define the circuit mechanisms that regulate somatosensory feedback in the brain. The research aims to determine if inhibitory mechanisms for...
This $563,343 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under CFDA 93.853 Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders, supports research conducted by New York University (NYU) to investigate the physical, molecular, and cellular mechanisms underlying tissue guidance and tissue splitting during nervous system development. The research uses the posterior lateral line primordium migration in zebrafish as...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $291,284 to Drexel University to investigate the role of medial laminae V/VI glycinergic interneurons in locomotor recovery following spinal cord injury. The research aims to identify this specific inhibitory interneuron population and understand how disruption of proprioceptive...
