Each award provides a research team with up to $1 million over two to four years.

A project led by Fow-Sen Choa of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Mary Kay Lobo of the University of Maryland, Baltimore aims to develop and apply a non-invasive technology to modulate neuronal activity in precise brain regions, ultimately altering behavior. Development of such a technology could lead to selective non-invasive brain circuit targeting for therapeutic treatments of brain diseases. Shown here is a section of a transgenic mouse brain.
