NINDS and NIDDK encourage applications for collaborative studies on the central nervous system (CNS) and glycemia.
The CNS plays a vital role in regulating glucose levels. CNS regulation of glycemic control has been demonstrated in basic and clinical studies. The purpose of this announcement is to promote new interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers in neuroscience and diabetes/metabolism to further understand the mechanisms in CNS regulation of glucose levels and in how the CNS responds to both high and low glucose levels.
