Project Grant R61NS140683
- This federal Project Grant award of $414,305 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 will fund research to identify key molecules and pathways underlying the process of epileptogenesis, with the goal of developing therapies to modify disease progression. The research leverages a novel algorithm called MAGIC combined with a large...
- This federal Project Grant award of $488,507, 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, is focused on investigating synaptic dysfunction in lissencephaly, a severe brain malformation resulting from mutations in the LIS1 gene. The award supports a series of preclinical translational studies using sophisticated cellular, molecular,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $459,000.00 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, will support research to understand the anatomical and physiological changes accompanying neocortical malformations known as molecular layer heterotopia (MLH). The research will utilize GPR56 knockout mice to study the neuronal and glial changes in MLH using spatial...
- 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 $499,953.00 to Stem Pharm, Incorporated to develop and validate a human stem cell-derived neural organoid model for studying temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The project aims to create a reproducible, 96-well plate format organoid model that incorporates microglia to better...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $426,250 Project Grant under CFDA 93.853, Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders, to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. This 2-year grant will fund research using cutting-edge voltage imaging to examine how interactions between specific neuronal circuit elements in the hippocampus relate to the development of temporal lobe...
- This Project Grant award of $743,776 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS, CFDA 93.853) supports research to determine whether and when ablating mutant cells that cause epilepsy can reverse the disease in mouse models of mTOR pathway disorders. The research aims to advance the development of AAV-mediated gene therapy approaches to treat intractable epilepsy caused by mTOR pathway mutations. This work builds upon almost two decades of the recipient...
- This $357,191 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 aims to mechanistically link acute seizures with chronic alterations in cholinergic networks in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome. The primary objective is to delineate seizure-associated pathology in the cholinergic pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) to identify targets for...
- This $1,309,206 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) supports research to investigate spatial recognition memory processes in patients with epilepsy. The goal is to develop improved cognitive assessments and treatments for the memory deficits commonly experienced by epilepsy patients, which are not well captured by current neuropsychological...
- This federal Project Grant award of $238,356 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to study the role of the amygdala-nucleus reticularis thalami (NRT) pathway in modulating thalamocortical circuits and cortical activity, and its potential impact on seizures and neuropsychiatric comorbidities in people with epilepsy. The research, led by the...
- This $579,294 Project Grant was 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. The grant supports research to understand the cell type-specific epigenetic mechanisms, particularly involving microRNAs, that regulate brain function and contribute to neurological disorders like epilepsy. The research aims to reveal the specific cell types and target mRNAs...
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) federal grant program, provides $396,804.00 to New York Medical College (NYMC) to develop an animal model of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a severe and treatment-resistant form of childhood epilepsy. The goal is to create a model to test new treatments for the neurobehavioral and cognitive impairments associated with LGS, which affects approximately 1-2 million people worldwide. This two-year project will characterize the spontaneous electroclinical features of LGS in prepubertal rats using two different models of infantile epilepsy spasm syndrome, a major precursor to LGS. The findings will support the development of new therapies to improve clinical and neurobehavioral outcomes for patients with this debilitating neurological condition.
