The IRG reviews funding applications and proposals, including but not limited to grant and cooperative agreement applications and contract proposals for research projects and for research and training activities in areas relevant to (1) neural basis of emotional and motivational behavior; (2) regulation of function, at the systems level, by neuroendocrine and neuroimmune influences; (3) the analysis of neural system function under various behavioral states, e.g., sleep and hibernation; (4) the maintenance of homeostasis by the autonomic nervous system; (5) chemosensation, hearing, balance, touch and somatosensation; (6) motor-system and sensory motor integration; (7) the integration of multisensory information; (8) the development and alteration of memory and other cognitive processes that accompany aging; (9) computational and theoretical models of cognitive processes; (10) mechanisms that underlie neural coding of complex stimuli; (11) attention and its effect on information processing in the nervous system; (12) those portions of the eye, brain, and intraocular muscle system that serve visual sensation; and (13) neuropharmacological effects of alcohol and toxicants.
