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.

Sc1:Functional Investigation of Neural Elements Located in a Key Brainstem Circuit That Controls Attention @ University of Texas El Paso
? DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to identify the function of previously uninvestigated neuronal elements and circuits located in key brain stem regions that control and regulate pre-attentive processes. Pre-attentive processes are impaired in many neurological disorders including schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder which affect 1-3% of the worldwide population and about 4 million people in the United States. Therefore, better understanding the neuronal basis of pre-attentive processes will have a powerful impact on health concerns both nationally and internationally. At the present time, there is no treatment for dysfunction in attention processing, a cognitive task that governs a variety of behavioral outcomes. In fact, individuals unable to focus attention for prolonged periods of time will struggl to learn in school, to maintain a job and to participate in social activities. Despite much scientiic efforts, the neural circuits and mechanisms underlying pre-attentive processes are still ill defined, even in healthy subjects. We will use an animal model and state-of-the-art neuronal recording techniques to better understand brain stem circuits and mechanisms controlling pre-attentive processing. Such neuronal pathways and mechanisms could be targeted for drug development and therapeutic strategies for disorders accompanied with pre-attentive deficits.
