We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Antidepressant Function of Pyk2 in the Lateral Septum
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research project is designed to investigate cellular signaling pathways in the limbic forebrain that are impacted by stress and contribute to the pathophysiology of depression. The mechanism of action of antidepressant medications will also be investigated, with specific regard to the subcellular processes responsible for their clinical efficacy. I will test whether activity of the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Pyk2 in the lateral septum is involved in these processes. Using gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting techniques, protein levels from the lateral septum will be measured in rats administered stress and antidepressant drugs to see if such treatments alter Pyk2 activity. Viral-mediated gene transfer will also be used to directly manipulate the levels of Pyk2 activity in the lateral septum and the effects such treatment has in animal models of depression will be evaluated. It is hypothesized that stress precipitates depressive symptoms by diminishing Pyk2 activity in the lateral septum, while the clinical efficacy of antidepressant drugs follows from enhanced activity. These experiments should provide new and useful information regarding the neural and cellular pathways that contribute to depression in humans.
