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.
You can help! If you notice any innacuracies, please

Structural and Functional Brain Change in Hiv
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): HIV+ patients have difficulties in cognitive realms consistent with dysfunction of the fronto-striatal network. This study aims to characterize atrophy in a group of asymptomatic HIV+ patients using volumetric MRI techniques, thereby investigating the effects of the virus on brain structure before the illness progresses to AIDS. In addition, this study aims to enhance the understanding of brain functioning after HIV infection by using fMRI to investigate brain activity during a reasoning task, a cognitive realm that appears impacted by the virus. Importantly, this proposal will analyze the data from both the structural and functional MRIs in conjunction with one another, thereby addressing how structure and function are impacted after infection with HIV. It also aims to explore how cognitive deficits as measured by standard neuropsychological testing procedures correlate with brain structure and function. These studies will increase scientific understanding of the impact of HIV on brain functioning in asymptomatic patients. Increasing knowledge of how functional and structural changes interact in HIV has implications for both understanding the course of HIV cognitive decline, and for identifying an opportunity for early cognitive intervention.
