FRONTHAL Specificity of cortico-thalamic interactions and its role in frontal cortical functions

Coordinator: HUN-REN KISERLETI ORVOSTUDOMANYI KUTATOINTEZET (HU)

Frontal cortical areas are responsible for a wide range of executive and cognitive functions. Frontal cortices communicate with the thalamus via bidirectional pathways and these connections are indispensable for frontal cortical operations. Still, we have very little information about the specificity of connections, synaptic interactions and plasticity between frontal cortex and thalamus and the roles of these interactions in frontal cortical functions.In the present proposal, we will test the hypothesis that frontal cortical areas developed a highly specialized connectivity pattern with the …

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €1.6M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5.7 years from 2017-09-01 to 2023-05-31.
