This grant offered by the NIH BRAIN Initiative supports the development of groundbreaking technologies for large-scale recording and manipulation of neural activity. The focus is on tackling major challenges in understanding dynamic signaling in the nervous system, aiming for high-risk yet transformative research. Applications must demonstrate exceptionally creative approaches to recording and stimulating neural activity across various spatial and temporal scales in different brain regions. Successful grants could revolutionize neuroscience research. Applications are accepted until October 18, 2017.

| Description: | Understanding the dynamic activity of neural circuits is central to the NIH BRAIN Initiative. This FOA seeks applications for proof-of-concept testing and development of new technologies and novel approaches for largescale recording and manipulation of neural activity to enable transformative understanding of dynamic signaling in the nervous system. In particular, we seek exceptionally creative approaches to address major challenges associated with recording and manipulating neural activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and/or temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain. It is expected that the proposed research may be high-risk, but if successful could profoundly change the course of neuroscience research. |
