- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded California Institute of Technology $467,500 on August 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to investigate mechanisms of hypothalamic neuronal circuit development in zebrafish larvae. The research will map the architecture and connectivity of hypothalamic neurons expressing hypocretin, a neuropeptide that promotes arousal in both zebrafish and mammals. Using the Brainbow technique, researchers will label...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Southern California $751,034 on August 6, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to support a neuroscience research project examining how the brain processes uncertainty in noisy, dynamically changing environments. The project, titled "Unraveling Neural Mechanisms Underlying Learning in a Noisy, Dynamically Changing World," investigates computational and neural mechanisms by which the brain...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Scripps Research Institute $878,601 on April 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to support structural remodeling of neural circuits via multisynaptic boutons. The research uses three-dimensional electron microscopy at nanometer resolution to reconstruct neuronal connectomes, individual synapses, and glia in the mammalian brain. The work combines 3D-EM with chemogenetic techniques for labeling cellular ensembles...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $444,845 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on September 1, 2026, to conduct a two-year study examining intra-individual determinants of neural oscillation phenomena. The funded research deploys multi-sensor measurements to concurrently capture objective measures of arousal (heart rate, heart rate variability, galvanic skin response, pupil metrics), motor activation (body, limb,...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Southern California $1.105 million on August 7, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to establish a global framework for harmonized functional MRI analysis in psychiatry. The project will harmonize resting-state fMRI datasets across eight psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders—schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depression disorder, obsessive compulsive...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $426,991 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on August 3, 2026, to support research decoding medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) plasticity across developmental life stages. The recipient is investigating critical periods of synaptic plasticity in the MPFC using high-throughput assays measuring long-term potentiation in mouse brain slices via multielectrode recording arrays. Aim 1 maps...
