FAU Scientists Receive $1.7 Million NIH Grant for Novel Neuroinflammation Study

April 20, 2020 sarah Jonas Anxiety, Biomedical Science, Drug Targets, Grants, National Institutes of Health, Neuroinflammation, Neuroscience, Psychopathology, Research

Researchers have received a $1.7 million NIH grant for a novel project that is the first to investigate how the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) influences neurotransmission through a direct action on neurons and how this action triggers behavioral changes. They will establish nIL-1R1 as a crucial link that could convert neuroinflammation to neural dysfunction, providing a new pathogenic mechanism for anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. Results from this work could suggest new targets for the treatment of psychopathology.
