The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), through its Office of Research Administration division, has been awarded a $432,500 Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The goal of this 2-year project is to use amygdala slice electrophysiology to examine the specific neural inputs and molecular mechanisms responsible for the enhanced excitatory drive in the basolateral...
This $176,180 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 at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotional responses to acute psychological stress. The funded study will use noninvasive neuromodulation techniques, such as continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), combined with functional neuroimaging, to examine the causal...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $1,453,943 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for the period of June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028. The grant will fund the development of an integrated, portable sensor suite to concurrently record neural activity, physiological arousal, motor signals, and physical interactions in social environments. The project aims to track neuro-behavioral attention...
This Project Grant award of $1,838,237, provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports research to investigate the neuronal circuits through which chronic stress promotes habit formation. The award, effective September 15, 2024 and ending May 31, 2029, will be executed by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The research aims to expose how opposing amygdala-striatal pathways in the brain enable...
This $14.48 million cooperative agreement from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will fund research into the neural dynamics driving affiliation and attachment. Awarded to the University of California, Los Angeles under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders program (CFDA 93.853), the project aims to examine how the neurobiology underlying affiliative behaviors in mice is adapted to support more...
This $778,024 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will support a 3-year longitudinal study to examine neurobiological and contextual factors that contribute to successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. The research team at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will use fMRI, behavioral measures, and questionnaires to test hypotheses that neural reward sensitivity, tolerance...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $133,488 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the effects of early life adversity on the developmental trajectory of avoidance circuitry. The research aims to determine how cells within the basolateral amygdala that are sensitive to early life adversity drive brain-wide circuit reorganization underlying enhanced...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $649,965 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from December 1, 2024 to October 31, 2029. The funding supports research to identify specific connections between the basolateral amygdala and ventral hippocampus that generate a biomarker of beta-frequency synchronization associated with mood and anxiety. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $606,029.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) to investigate the neurocircuitry underlying motivated reward-seeking behavior in response to stress. The key goals of the research are to: 1) Determine if a subpopulation of GABAergic neurons in the medial habenulo-interpeduncular (MHB-IPN) axis...
This federal Project Grant award of $2,210,865, provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to identify unique neural and inflammatory mechanisms of depression in people living with HIV (PLWH). The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will conduct a cross-sectional study to enroll PLWH who are depressed and non-depressed, as well as HIV-negative subjects who are depressed and non-depressed. The research...
