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...
This federal Project Grant award of $354,600 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative will support the development of a new set of methodologies for simultaneous, distributed perturbation of multiple cortical regions using patterned light. The goal is to enable data-driven inference of how large-scale patterns of cortical activity underlie...
The University of Utah received a $2,856,242 project grant from the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to develop noninvasive targeted neuromodulation techniques. The grant is funded through the 21st Century Cures Act Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies program. Under the award, the University will perform research in non-human primates to determine effective stimulation parameters for modulating deep brain circuits...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as the Health Sciences Division, a $2,554,313 federal Project Grant under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372). The grant, which runs from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026, will support research to determine if targeted in vivo manipulations of local circuit control...
This $7.6 million project grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, will fund research under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). Baylor College of Medicine will lead simultaneous high-throughput functional, transcriptomic, and connectivity profiling of neurons in the mouse visual cortex. The research aims to characterize the complex functional properties of neurons using in vivo two-photon imaging combined with...
This $385,613 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), as part of the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372), supports a collaborative research project between New York University and Princeton University. The project aims to investigate hypothalamic neural activity and collective mouse behavior in laboratory cages versus outdoor colonies. The research...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $1,385,000 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to the Allen Institute, a non-profit research organization, to develop novel techniques for measuring the input-output operations of individual neurons in the mouse cortex. The project aims to overcome challenges in understanding how neurons in the mammalian brain transform their synaptic inputs into outputs, which is critical for designing effective brain-machine...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $2,359,174 Project Grant under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to conduct research on the biophysical mechanisms of cortical microstimulation. The project aims to develop a more mechanistic understanding of how direct local electrical stimulation...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $1,558,808 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853) to the University of California, Davis to develop a "Synthetic Mesoscope to Image Large-Scale Neural Activity with Near-Single-Cell Resolution in Freely-Behaving Animals." The project aims to create a miniaturized optical imaging device that can record neuronal activity across the entire brain of freely-moving mice with near-cellular resolution. This will enable...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372), will support research to investigate the biological mechanisms underlying attention control and information processing. The $864,475 award will enable The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to: Provide behavioral evidence for the...
