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.

Neurochemical Interactions in Male Sexual Behavior @ University of Texas Austin
The neurotransmitter dopamine is significant in the control of sexual behavior in male and female mammals. In female mice, dopamine facilitates lordosis through the ligandindependent activation of the progesterone receptor. The progesterone receptor is involved in female receptivity and male mounting behavior in rats and mice and also facilitates male-like pseudosexual behavior in a unisexual species of lizard, Cnemidophorus uniparens. Using normal and transgenic (progesterone receptor knockout) mice I propose to investigate interactions between dopamine and progesterone receptor, and how those interactions affect masculine sexual behavior. Transgenic mice represent a unique model system whose study will enable a better understanding of the neural substrate underlying male sexual behavior. These experiments will also provide training in endocrine physiology, immunocytochemistry, and behavioral testing techniques.

Dopaminergic and Social Modulation of Neural Activity @ University of California San Francisco
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Songbirds represent one of the few animal model systems for the study of the acquisition of human speech. Birds learn their song during development, and have a well-delineated forebrain circuitry devoted to learning and producing song. Area X is a part of the neural circuitry involved in song acquisition and modulation. Area X is also a part of the avian basal ganglia and receives a strong input from midbrain dopaminergic nuclei. Cells in Area X respond to changes in social context: their activity changes depending on whether males are singing in isolation or singing to a female. The proposed studies will investigate the role of dopamine in modulating neural activity in Area X under different social contexts, and how changes in activity in Area X may affect the responses of other nuclei in the learning pathway. Given both the homology and similarity between Area X and mammalian striatum, as well as the ecological and behavioral relevance of the bird song system, the merging of the two fields of study would provide considerable information toward understanding plasticity and song production in birds, as well as insight into striatal function in a behaviorally relevant paradigm.
