Project Grant RF1MH138396
- This federal Project Grant award of $665,494, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports the establishment of a Social Interaction Suite (SIS) of synchronized neural and behavioral tools. The SIS is designed to measure cognitive networks associated with processing facial cues and their correlated behaviors during live social interactions. The project, conducted by Yale University, will utilize functional...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $461,084 to Yale University to elucidate how POMC neurons in the hypothalamus respond to social stimuli and regulate social behaviors during development. The overarching goal is to map the in vivo responses of POMC neurons to social cues with single-cell precision, and to record the activity of POMC neuron projections in the nucleus...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $409,837 to Dartmouth College to research the computational and neural mechanisms underlying how people detect, predict, and regulate others' mental states during social interactions. The project aims to develop deep neural network models that can replicate these key aspects of human social cognition, with the goal of advancing scientific understanding...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $158,286 project grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The award supports research investigating the neural computations underlying the relationship between social learning and mood, with a focus on examining how norm prediction errors influence short-term and long-term mood symptoms. The project aims to leverage human single-unit recording techniques to directly...
- This Cooperative Agreement 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 will provide $2,055,765 to Yale University to conduct research on the behavioral mechanisms underlying cooperative and competitive social interactions in primates. The project aims to collect comprehensive biobehavioral data on these complex social dynamics in marmosets and develop...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $301,800.00 to Yale University to conduct research on the neural mechanisms of object cognition. Spanning from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2030, the project aims to develop new computational models that can explain how the brain transforms raw sensory inputs into perceptions, thoughts, and predictions about physical scenes and objects. The...
- The University of Florida received a $626,557 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying social competence, specifically the shifting between competitive and cooperative behaviors. The 5-year project aims to investigate the role of the prelimbic cortex and its projections to the lateral hypothalamus and basolateral amygdala in modulating competitive and...
- This Project Grant award of $778,548.00, made by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying social cognitive deficits in individuals with schizophrenia. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to: 1) investigate sensory processing dysfunctions in the third visual pathway, which is specialized for processing social information, and 2) explore the use of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $125,556 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the neuronal mechanisms underlying human navigation and decision-making. The study will leverage a unique collaboration with epilepsy patients who have brain implants to record single-unit and population neural activity in key regions like the hippocampus, amygdala,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) is supporting research at Yale University to study the neural mechanisms underlying complex social interaction strategies. The $3,299,818 award, which runs from September 2025 to September 2029, will leverage innovative technologies like automated behavioral tracking and wireless neural recording to investigate how brain regions like the orbitofrontal cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex contribute to adaptive social behaviors and decision-making. The research aims to advance the understanding of the neural bases of strategic social interactions, with a focus on cooperation, altruism, and reciprocity. This work has the potential to provide insights into the cognitive and neural processes underlying human social cognition and interaction.
