NIH/NIMH awarded $249,000 for research on neuronal synchronization mechanisms related to neurological disorders, led by Simon Chamberland at University of Pittsburgh, spanning 2021-2027.
Description
The project focuses on investigating disinhibitory circuits controlling parvalbumin-expressing interneurons in the hippocampus. The research aims to understand neuronal network coordination and its implications for neurological disorders such as autism and epilepsy. The project is funded by NIH/NIMH with a total award of $249,000. The principal investigator is Simon Chamberland, an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. The project duration is from September 1, 2021, to January 31, 2027. The work involves system neuroscience training during the K99 and R00 phases.
