This $2.3 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will fund research on hippocampal-cortical contributions to spatial learning and memory in freely behaving macaques. Over a three-year period from May 2022 to April 2025, researchers at Vanderbilt University will use high-density wireless recordings to test predictions from complementary learning systems theory regarding the roles of hippocampal subregions and...
This $1,969,806 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research to understand the neural mechanisms that implement flexible decision rules in visual processing and decision-making. The primary objectives are to: 1) Characterize how monkeys use flexible decision rules, 2) Identify neural correlates of decision rules in the oculomotor pathway, and 3) Determine causal relationships between neural activity and decision...
This $2,034,063 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying self-control and response inhibition. The primary awardee, The Johns Hopkins University, will conduct experiments to determine if the neural circuits for self-control and response inhibition are shared or distinct within the prefrontal cortex. This will involve recording...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), will support research on the role of the locus coeruleus (LC) in hippocampal network dynamics during learning and behavioral flexibility. The $677,261 award will fund a 5-year research project at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center to investigate how noradrenergic signaling from the LC to the hippocampus facilitates the resetting...
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, is funding research to establish the causal roles of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) in perceptual decision-making behavior. The $436,850 award to Trustees of Boston University, doing business as Boston University Medical Campus, will be...
This $252,125 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying context-dependent decision-making in mice. The project will leverage functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and optogenetics to: Identify brain regions involved in the maintenance of contextual information across the mouse brain, and Determine how activity in these context maintenance areas...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $2,181,744 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research on the molecular and neural circuit mechanisms underlying goal-directed dysfunction associated with neurexin1 (NRXN1) genetic mutations. The key objectives are to examine how NRXN1 functions within midbrain dopamine neurons and striatal cholinergic interneurons, and...
This $11,353,776 cooperative agreement from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will fund research into midbrain circuits for perceptual decision-making. The University of Virginia will lead a team investigating how the superior colliculus participates in visual decision-making processes. Researchers will conduct psychophysical experiments in mice and tree shrews to assess perceptual decision-making, and fit behavioral data with...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to understand how the brain supports decision-making processes. The three-year grant, awarded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to identify neural features that provide information about the decision-making process, build decoders to predict decisions, and develop a closed-loop...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $1,389,728 to The Trustees of Princeton University to conduct research on the evolutionary development of the primate neocortex. The project aims to apply molecular tools and genomic analyses to the common marmoset, an emerging primate model, in order to reconstruct the lineage relationships, progenitor population demographics, and connectivity patterns across...
