Synaptic function programs in neuron-astrocyte co-cultures from human post-mortem brain tissue

Research grant awarded to McLean Hospital for studying synaptic functions in neuron-astrocyte co-cultures derived from human post-mortem brain tissue, with a total funding of $463,229 for fiscal year 2026.

Description

This is a research grant opportunity from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) for studies on synaptic functions involving neuron-astrocyte interactions using human-derived models. The project aims to validate human-derived neuron-astrocyte co-cultures as tools for investigating synaptic mechanisms in brain disorders. The award is multiyear, with a total amount of approximately $463,229 for the fiscal year 2026. The project involves collaboration with McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA.
