This federal Project Grant award of $565,257.00 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 grant supports research to understand how presynaptic modulation of synaptic inhibition onto hippocampal pyramidal neurons in the brain regulates spatial information encoding. Key objectives include determining how metabotropic glutamate receptor activation via glutamate spillover affects excitatory and inhibitory inputs, identifying intracellular signaling mechanisms, locating different receptor subtypes, and assessing the impact on hippocampal place cell encoding. The research leverages in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology and electron microscopy approaches at the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. Findings are expected to advance understanding of neural circuit function and inform strategies to treat disorders like epilepsy and autism.
