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.

Central Processing of Chemosensory Signals @ Florida State University
The Medial Amygdala is important for control of sexual and emotional behavior. Chemosensory information is sent directly to the anterior part of the medial amygdala predominantly via the accessory olfactory system, with small inputs from the main olfactory bulb. In male hamsters, chemosensory information about biologically relevant natural stimuli is detected via receptors in the vomeronasal organ. Information is passed initially to the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), then to the anterior medial amygdala (MeA), which projects to the posterior medial amygdala (MeP). The pathway from MeA provides the majority of chemosensory input to MeP. Artificial or socially irrelevant stimuli increase neuronal activity in the initial parts of the vomeronasal pathway, as measured by increased Fos expression, but information is not passed on to the posterior part of the amygdala. Natural, socially relevant stimuli activate the initial regions (AOB and MeA), but also the posterior medial amygdala, which is abundant in steroid receptors. Many social behaviors are dependent on an adequate steroid level. These data suggest that the MeA ay act to filter patterns of input that have different social relevance to animals. The goal of this proposal is to determine the mechanisms of inhibition in the intra-amygdaloid circuits involved with the integration of sensory input from the accessory olfactory system and social relevance to the animal.

R03Activity Code Description: To provide research support specifically limited in time and amount for studies in categorical program areas. Small grants provide flexibility for initiating studies which are generally for preliminary short-term projects and are non-renewable. |
Mechanisms of Age-Related Changes in Estrogen Receptor Beta Expression in the Rat
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Estrogen plays a crucial role in coordinating the neuroendocrine events that control sexual development, sexual behavior and reproduction. Additionally, estrogen modulates numerous additional facets of brain function. In humans, the primary biologically active form of estrogen is 172-estradiol (E2). E2 has been implicated in several non-reproductive brain functions such as protection against brain injury, involvement in learning and memory as well as promoting the formation of synapses. Additionally, a growing body of literature has shown that E2 treatment may alleviate neuronal dysfunctions from Alzheimer
