Researchers supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation have provided a new understanding of how and where learning occurs in the brain. The two-part finding has implications for understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and other dementias, which impact more than 7 million people in the United States and account for $384 billion in health and long-term care costs, as well as for enhancing neural networks.
“Identifying how the brain actually forms new connections and learns is a question at the frontier of neuroscience,” said Paul Forlano, program officer in the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences. “Knowing that influences our understanding of how we interact with our environment and pick up on and respond to cues, which opens the door to a range of new fundamental and applied research.”
The researchers, led by Kishore Kuchibhotla, assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University, used brain imaging to determine when mice learned a new skill. The imaging reinforced previous work, showing that mice learned quickly and that those that continued to make errors weren’t still learning; they were experimenting. The difference between mistakes and testing the rules was evident in changes in the neural activity that the researchers saw in the mice.
Kuchibhotla said the distinction between the brain dynamics in learning and the dynamics involved in using that skill could be mimicked in having a memory

Research Faculty in Bioelectrics (Open Rank, 2 Positions, Non-Tenure Eligible)
Old Dominion University
Job Description
The Frank Reidy Research Center for Bioelectrics at Old Dominion University (https://ww1.odu.edu/bioelectrics) invites applicants for Research Faculty at a rank of Research Assistant, Research Associate, or Research Professor. This is a 10-month non-tenure track appointment supported by state funds. The successful candidate will perform cutting-edge experimental biomedical research in a broader area of bioelectrics (which encompasses bioeffects and applications of electric fields, electrostimulation, electroporation, and roles of endogenous electric fields), report results at scientific forums, publish in peer-reviewed journals, compete for extramural grant funding, and actively collaborate with colleagues at Frank Reidy Research Center for Bioelectrics (FRRCBE) and beyond.
FRRCBE pioneers basic and applied research in the interaction of electric fields and ionized gases with biological systems. Its
