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 federal Project Grant award of $370,462 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 award supports research at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas to develop technical capabilities for studying brain state changes related to arousal and attention in mice and non-human primates. The research aims to advance the understanding of how brain...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $136,485 Project Grant to Yale University under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative program (CFDA 93.372). The grant, awarded on September 30, 2025, with a completion date of September 29, 2027, aims to study the neural circuits regulating arousal and behavioral responses to visual threats. The...
- This $1,761,170 project grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will support research into feedback and feedforward gating of sensory signaling through timing in the thalamocortical loop. The grantee, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will utilize optogenetic and electrophysiological techniques to precisely measure and manipulate elements of the thalamic-cortical circuit in the whisker somatosensory pathway of awake mice. Specifically, the research aims to...
- This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
- 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), provides $381,375.00 to New York University to develop genetic strategies to study a novel disinhibitory system in the cortex. Specifically, the project aims to gain a detailed understanding of how top-down and bottom-up signals are integrated in the superficial...
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) provides $1,413,807.00 to Georgia TECH Research Corp, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to conduct research on tracking the flow of attention in visual circuits across the brain. The key objectives are to: 1) Establish the neural timing of spatial attention across visual cortical areas, 2) Determine the organization of visual spatial attention networks, and 3) Define the laminar and cellular substrates for multi-area visual spatial attention networks. This innovative research leverages advanced techniques like functionally targeted, multi-area neural recordings from genetically defined neuron subtypes to map how an internal cognitive state like attention modulates sensory processing across the visual system. The findings are expected to provide greater understanding of cognitive flexibility and insight into conditions characterized by attention and sensory perception deficits.
