The University of Chicago received a $3.89 million Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke under the 21st Century Cures Act Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies program. The grant will fund research from August 2022 through August 2025 to directly measure and manipulate the spiking activity of locus coeruleus and ventral tegmental area axons in the hippocampus of mice during hippocampal-dependent learning tasks. Optogenetic manipulation and locally applied receptor antagonists will reveal how these neuromodulatory inputs influence cognitive map formation and plasticity in the hippocampus. Ex-vivo electron microscopy of imaged axons will determine their synaptic connectivity. Findings aim to provide insight into the information carried by these circuits during memory-related learning and how they alter representations and synaptic circuitry in the hippocampus.
