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.

Basal Forebrain Cholinergic Modulation of Hypothalamic Hormone Release @ Baylor College of Medicine
Project Abstract Hypothalamic hormones regulate multiple physiologies, and changes in their signaling to a variety of pathologies including obesity, growth and metabolic abnormalities, and sexual dysfunction. Prominent neuroendocrine pathways that regulate physiologies of metabolism, growth, and stress, all rely on hypothalamic input for their control. Little is known about extra-hypothalamic inputs that control these pathways. Towards this goal, we have discovered a novel projection from the basal forebrain cholinergic system to the hypothalamus and median eminence. Furthermore, we have shown that an increase in the activity of these cholinergic neurons leads to a novel hormone-driven weight loss phenotype. Using innovative techniques in conditional viral genetics, cell-type specific neuronal manipulations, cell-type specific labeling, optogenetics, and ultrastructural imaging we propose to determine the role of basal forebrain cholinergic signaling on hypothalamic hormone release. Specifically, we propose to (1) determine which hypothalamic- pituitary axis hormones are altered by changes in cholinergic tone and (2) determine how cholinergic signaling alters the release of hypothalamic hormones.
