Fellowships: Neuronal Injury and Related Disorders – F01
The F01 study section reviews fellowship applications with an emphasis on clinical aspects of neuronal injury and related disorders. Applications reviewed may emphasize injury of the nervous system or brain including but not limited to TBI, stroke and other neurovascular injury. Studies may focus on the underlying mechanisms of a disorder or potential therapeutics, or clinical aspects of the above conditions
Topics
- Preclinical, clinical and translational aspects on brain and neuronal injury (including but not limited to TBI, spinal cord injury, epilepsy), neurovascular disorders (including but not limited to stroke and ischemia) using animal models, organoids, organ-on-chip as well as human subjects and specimens.
- Studies on neuroplasticity, neuroprotection and circuit disorder related to brain diseases and disorders
- Therapeutic strategies to enhance recovery of function after spinal cord injury, stroke, ischemia and traumatic brain injury
- Imaging studies related to brain, neuronal injury and neuronal disorders
- Infectious diseases of brain and nervous system including preclinical and clinical studies on autoimmune disorders of the nervous system.
- Neuroimmunology and neuroinflammation of CNS and PNS
- Preclinical and clinical studies on autoimmune disorders of the nervous system.
- Studies on Primary and secondary brain tumors (glioma/glioblastoma/medulloblastoma) in context of neuroimmunology, neuroinflammation and/or neuro-modulatory effect of the CNS
- Application involving neuroimaging, electrophysiological recording and stimulation, deep brain stimulation or computational modeling in brain, neuronal injury and neuronal disorders.
- Cellular/molecular approaches, including genetic or epigenetic methods in understanding mechanistic aspects brain, neuronal injury and neuronal disorders and recovery from them.
- Applications on neurobiology of pain and itch; pain mediation, therapy related to pain management, mechanisms of action of analgesics
